Hold its mouth closed and hold a finger in each notrile until the shaking stops! Once shaking stop's continue prescription for another 5 minutes!
If I did enough damage to a deer to stop it long enough to get shots off...I would be tempted to unload my whole arsenal into it in retaliation to the damage it did to my car.
I would then take it home and saver every bite of the non-bloodshot meat.
Never heard of a permit required to take the animal. But it makes sense that carving up a deer in the "off season" might be frowned upon by the police if you can't prove how it was obtained.
ok. my first issue is with your interpretation of a POLICE OFFICER as a POPO is extremely degrading and quite disingenuous. The fact that you refer to them in that way means you have no respect for them at all.If the animal is a deer I would shoot as opposed to slitting the throat. Safer IMO.
Then I would contact the popo and see about getting a permit to take the deer home for meat if it wasn't tore up to bad.
I once saw a raccoon take 5 rounds of .45 jhp and not die for 4 or 5 minutes.How do you hit a cat, and then shoot it a couple times and it doesn't die? Was he shooting it with spit wads? Christ, even a .22 could end a cat

Not sure that this is the right forum, but it seems here's where the legally minded people on INGO gather...
If you hit an animal on the road, or if you see a terminally injured animal, what can you do to put it out of its misery? What are the legal implications if you do?
I suppose we can't shoot an animal if we're in a town/city. Would we go to jail if we slit the throat of a deer we hit? Are there hunting laws or animal abuse laws we need to be aware of?
For me a big question is whether the animal will survive the accident. Last year some guy ran over a cat, shot it a few times, and the cat survived. It then seems to me he made the wrong decision. Maybe he wanted to put the cat out of its suffering, but he ends up looking like an animal abuser, which he might have been. On the other hand, I've seen animals slowly expire in front of me, and I wish I could have done something to speed its passing.
Regarding the legality of a mercy shot. If it is a deer, you are not allowed to shoot it unless you use a legal hunting caliber and in season. If it is a pet (dog, cat, etc) I do not know what the law says. Will a LEO speak up on this?
A person who knowingly or intentionally kills a domestic animal without the consent of the owner of the domestic animal commits killing a domestic animal, a Class D felony.
(e) It is a defense to a prosecution under this section that the accused person:
(1) reasonably believes the conduct was necessary to:
(A) prevent injury to the accused person or another person;
(B) protect the property of the accused person from destruction or substantial damage; or
(C) prevent a seriously injured vertebrate animal from prolonged suffering; or
(2) engaged in a reasonable and recognized act of training, handling, or disciplining the vertebrate animal.

hubby was behind a car on Post Rd in Indianapolis that hit a deer. They both stopped. Deer was suffering. Called police, police call Animal Control. Both on scene, no one wanted to shoot the deer and put it out of it's misery.
Finally hubby asked LEO if they could please shoot the deer so it didn't suffer anymore. LEO said he didn't want to shoot it, but if hubby wanted to he could, as he was pulling his sidearm from it's holster to hand to hubby. Hubby said he had his own, pulled it and shot the deer.
45ACP, not legal hunting caliber, wasn't deer season yet he wasn't ticketed or taken to jail for shooting out of season.
yes he wasDid I read that right? the LEO was going to hand over HIS gun to your 'hubby'?
yes he was
blew hubbies mind away too.
they had been standing there talking for some time at this point also, if that makes any difference. I know it doesn't me, I would never hand my firearm to anyone.
