This morning on the way to work I got my biggest deer yet. I got about a mile from home and was going around a semi parked on the side of the road and as soon as I got around it a huge buck ran across the road. When I hit it, it broke both of its back legs and was struggling across the field. I called the police and asked if they wanted me to dispatch the deer. They told me to wait for the officer and he would take care of it. When he arrived he got out his shotgun and walked across the field with me. When he got in position he could not get his shotgun to fire and when it finally did he missed. I asked if he would like for me to go grab my gun and shoot the deer. He decided that may be the best course of action so I went and got my gun and finished him off. When I walked over I started counting points and came up with thirteen. I am not sure what he weighed but when I was dragging him trough the field in my shirt and tie he felt like he would go over 200lbs. One question since I am the one who shot him does he count for the deer contest?

........... One question since I am the one who shot him does he count for the deer contest? Very nice deer. Got him the hard way. I'll have to run your request by the contest judging committee. One clarification question though - Did you tag it with your tag or did the LEO give you a state tag?

It was an LEO tag.
I do think I am going to get it mounted. It would be a shame to waste such a good rack.

Why could he not get his gun to fire? Makes you feel safe.

After discussing this with the "rules committee" we decided that the deer really wasn't hunted and your personal tag wasn't used and as such it cant be counted in the deer contest. Sorry..
It is a very nice deer and I would consider mounting it if I were you.

I would do a Euro mount. Cheaper and it still looks good. You could still hang it on the wall, maybe with a hood ornament on it's forehead.

I don't know why he couldn't get his gun to fire. I did tell him he better get it checked before he has to use it to protect his life. He told me that if he were in a fire fight he would have pulled out his M16. I guess he was probably a little nervous too. He told me he is not a hunter and maybe that is why he missed.
As for my car the hood is wrinkled pretty bad and the passenger side light cover is busted. Main thing is no one was hurt and I got a good deer and a good story out of it. I will probably get a regular mount done since it is not that often I see a buck that big.
