You can’t break the law and think you won’t have to pay, but we definitely need some laws ammended so the deer population can be brought down. My husband and I both have dents in our vehicles, have had lights put out, my multiple deer hits.
I think they should be able to hunt longer with less limitations, and for those who just want trophy deer , they should have a place to take deer for slaughter to feed those who don’t have.
BTW, is there any place to take a deer that you have killed by hitting them with your car that will take them for the meat?

REGARDING:
” You can pick out phrases and make yourself look intelligent…”

What makes you think I was picking out phrases?

The question was why things which are illegal in Alabama are legal in Florida. It was extremely pertinent.

The answer is that different states have different laws.

As to calling FWC officers non-federal to sound smart — I just don’t see it.

I would have to assume that was news to the average person, which I don’t.

What i mean by federal is they have jurisdiction anywhere. You can pick out phrases and make yourself look intelligent…

“….its state law not local…but wi i can go 200 yards down the sreet and hunt over corn…Fwc is federal! but whatever”

You really believe the FWC, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, is a federal agency?

Interesting.

Still, state laws are local laws, federal laws are found throughout all the states and territories.

thank you to the people who have offered some insight and respect for the laws. they (the Laws) are there for a reason. those citizens who do not follow the laws make it harder for those of us who do. I have no problem calling FWC to report violations. I have my own private property to hunt whenever I want and yet still follow the laws. a Hunter safety course would help educate those who do not know. This is why young hunters are required to take one, so they can learn the real rules and not what their family or friend tells them is ok.
Poaching is Illegal and needs to be reported!
If you do not like the laws, then become part of the process to change them and quite complaining!

The brothers, unless they are idiots, should not have much trouble figuring out who turned them in. I bet we hear more on this, and it will be interesting to be sure.

Deer are getting so plentiful until they are causing many deaths on highways and all roadways for that matter. They are causing more vehicles to be torn up by hitting them until our vehicle insurance has risen so high most people cannot hardly afford it but HAVE TO. The deer season is TOO SHORT because something has to be done to curtail the number out there. My nephew is the Ga Farm Bureau District Manager said his company are paying out so many claims because of deer they are giving their customers whistles to install on their cars to scare the deer from the roadways to curtail all the claims that are coming in. I’ve asked the Fish & Wildlife people what they can do and they don’t have an answer either except States should make longer hunting seasons on them. If and when the population lessens, then efforts can be made to SAVE THEM. Forget the little Bambi’s because they grow up to do a lot of damage. It’s a matter of the deer of humans at this point. If the Fish & Wildlife doesn’t have more to do than stalk a residence they are hard-up for duties. Even my grandfathers hunted all winter and we had meat on our table all the time. I suppose the beef and pork people do not want any competition because they want everyone to go to the grocery store and buy the $5.00-$8.00/lb meat.

Different states
Different legislators
Different laws.

It’s best not to expect the Obama Administration (or the Bush Administration, or the Nixon Administration, or….) to set local laws for us
