i agree with you.this is done alot and the animal is still good sound like the guy was to lazy to clean his deer.

Jasb doesn't believe in chl, RM you are going to get Jasb hurt..

It were a joke... the OP and Payne will get it.

Also if jasb had twine in his bug out bag he could have hog tied the guy until leo arrived....

My bug out bag was next to my zombie kit at the bunker....

Texas does not recognize brandishing a weapon. There is no law what so ever about brandishing a weapon on Texas books. If you pull a weapon and cause fear, you are causing disorderly conduct.

Yep totally agree and lack of respect for the deer and also violation of Wanton Waste regulation.

•Waste of Game: It is an offense (Class C misdemeanor) if a person while hunting kills or wounds a game bird or game animal and intentionally or knowingly fails to make a reasonable effort to retrieve the animal or bird and include it in the person's daily or seasonal bag limit. It is an offense if a person intentionally takes or possesses a game bird, game animal, or fish and intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly, or with criminal negligence, fails to keep the edible portions of the bird, animal, or fish in an edible condition. It is a Class A misdemeanor to fail to retrieve or to keep in an edible condition a whitetail or mule deer, pronghorn antelope, or desert bighorn sheep hunted without landowner consent; from a vehicle, boat, or aircraft; on a public road; at night; or with the aid of a light.

Say whut?

lol

. Yupp the processor selection is pretty slim round here. At least they didn't accept that animal. I've really never had consistent good service out of any local processor. Sure as Hell can't find any one who makes good summer sausage.

I know this is a little off topic but since you brought it up....
Enroll in a CHL class and you'll learn a little more about brandishing a weapon.

Trophy case in Tuscola....good

Been carrying for going on 10 years. Might want to head over to Texaschlforum.com and do some reading. The owner of the forum is the lawyer that wrote the CHL laws and you will quickly find there is no such thing as brandishing a weapon in Texas.

Is the trophy case the same place that was doing the camo dipping for a little while, also does taxi work. If its the same guy I think it is he does make some good summer sausage. My buddy said he does good processing. I may have to try him.... If I kill anything that is. And since this thread is so off topic I'm going to let yall know I like watermelon and have no chl.

How in the hell did this become about brandishing a weapon? He said un-named not un-armed..

I loike chicken, I loike chicken.

ahhh some ole yard bird come on

Devil's advocate time....

What the guy did is against the law, but I've always wondered why. It's perfectly fine to waste meat of many other species, why make special provisions for certain others? If the local population can handle the harvest, should it matter why the person wants to harvest it? If the deer had been depredating crops, and therefore an economic nuisance like hogs or crows, why not allow them to leave the carcass in the field?

The law as written is horribly vague because it doesn't define what is edible and what is a portion. What is edible to one person is not to another. If you don't take the offal, did you break the law? If you don't scrape every last bit of meat off the ribs, did you break the law?

He gets all my mounts and processing. He's done 3 whitetail an axis and has my stag in there now. Kaleb is the owner and taxi and is a great guy.

I'm not sure what you mean by brandishing, but if you mean displaying in public it could be Disorderly Conduct, Deadly Conduct, or Aggravated Assault depending on the circumstances.

I take all of my deer and pigs to either James Processing in Merkel, or to Kaleb @ Trophy Case in Tuscola. Either one will do you a good job and you're assured of getting your own meat back. I had some of Dana James' jalapeno cheese summer sausage and crackers for supper tonight. There are a few around that do a good job, you just have to be careful. I've heard of rotten deer being batch-processed with good deer and the meat getting divvied up to everyone...I know that my meat is good when it's delivered, and I don't want anyone else's.

This happens all the time..one of my affluent buds in Boerne went
on a canned Elk hunt So. of San Antonio a few yrs. ago..$5K..shot
a bull, they picked it up w/a fork lift..and told him they'd deliver it to his processor/taxiderist..by the time he got it..meat was bad and they wondered why he'd never use them again.
Don

Sounds as if they guy didn't intentionally waste the meat if he delivered it to the processor, evidently just clueless on how to care for it. Not everybody has internet experts to fall back on after the fact. I wish screwing up a deer was the least of the things I've screwed up unintentionally only to regret very soon after.....
