calling all lawyers, hunters, and joungers with a good sense of humor

Oct 23, 2024, 2:02 PM

I'm declaring war on the deer in my neighborhood.

Them sombiches bout obliterated my azaleas that I worked so hard to get back in good shape. Despite my anger, my wife said I was over-reacting.

I actually went out w/ my bow drawn, ready to light one up in my yard, but the NY lady was at her mailbox. she didn't see me b/c she was trying to call the deer to her. I ain't see disbich in weeks.

anywho....

Well now...they dunnfucked up.

Woke up this mawn and they ate my little girls punkins. so NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW my wife be like:

so here's my pinch/rub/stickywickett....

in TN, technically, it's perfectly legal to shoot a deer on your property. confirmed this w/ local police, mayor's office, and TWRA.

HOWEVER

I live next to a buncha transplant libDeerTreehuggingfaggots who are FEEDING these cottam deer, and they could, theoretically call the cops on me for reckless endangerment.

now, I'm going to shoot a bow. and in my logic, if I shoot towards my house, then that negates the potential harm to neighbors. I have permission from other neighbor (not the NY or Cali people where the deer live) to shoot a deer on his property w/ my bow.

so my plan, befoer actually murcin these sombiches in broad daylight....

neighbor feeds deer (which is illegal) every day at 4 PM. so they usually stroll through my yard round, say 2.

I'm ghana go sit in my driveway, on my chair, w/ my bow in my lap, round say 230. hoping they come out to axe me what I'm doin.

Imma say I'm waiting on these deer you're feeding to walk through my yard, so I can shoot them right there and not be a danger to you or anyone in the neighborhood.

bit of a rant, lotta ramble, open to mroe discussion...my question is two fold:

1- Is this too much of an escalation?

2- How close am I to getting booked w/ a felony?

1) Make absolutely dang sure you aren't violating any sort of municipal code. With bow you are probably fine. No HOA I assume?

2) If neighbor makes a stink, the illegal feeding of deer is some leverage for you.

3) Unless you are Hawkeye and Robin Hood's illegitimate son and shooting a ten pound arrow, consider what happens after the shot. That deer is going to run and probably run into another yard. Don't get hit with any sort of trespassing charge following it.

4) Is it worth getting permission in writing from friendly neighbor? Maybe overkill but you don't want him coming back with "I thought you were joking."

5) You might also consider telling the Cali/yankee neighbor ahead of time. Something like "I want you to know these deer are tearing up my property and I'm going to shoot them. If you don't want to see that, don't be out here." Probably a very very very longshot, but you don't want to get hit with some BS negligent/intentional infliction of emotional distress claim for slaughtering her pet deer.

Disclaimer: I'm not a TN lawyer, I'm not a TN hunter, and I find nothing funny about the dang Volunteers. This is just me spitballing.

Why you messing with the deer?

just in case this appears in my trial

Make sure you invite them over at some point and serve her some

the wife is an absolute dime

Your neighbor is worth north of $100M and you are thinking of shooting

these colors don't run

I love animals

I'm a member of PITA.

Fence in what you dont want eaten is simplest solution

I noticed deer tracks last week in some dirt I had leveled for a pole barn

I can get within about 20 feet from them at my house before they run off

Re: calling all lawyers, hunters, and joungers with a good sense of humor

I think you run the risk of a neighbor have a

yeah, you bring up a good point

Not an escalation

If I am reading this right, feeding the deer is illegal but

ya know, now that you mention it

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!...***

Re: calling all lawyers, hunters, and joungers with a good sense of humor

I was just talking to my buddy about this

Its the same at the lake house.

Here is an interesting video on how to capture a live one

Hey, I'm all three. A couple of thoughts:

One other thought: if neighbor is feeding them, and you know this, make sure

did not know that about you

As long as you know

Im tired of these MFing deer in my MFing yard!

IF you really want to get rid of them and not be cruel

They would have had a harder time eating this kinda pumpkin'

I live in South Carolina, so the law is different but...

After the kill...

Im making deer chili for my work Halloween party.

HOLD...HOLD....Let me tell you why

Deer are doing you a favor

Easiest solution is to move. Or burn down the neighbors house.

City boy problems

Catch 20 of them. Put them in your fenced in back yard. Charge these city boys

That could work if deer couldnt just jump 8 feet w ease.

Double up the fence. Make it at least 4 pallets high***

Someone has been giving these deer tree fiddy.

ReII think you have to call the gamewarden and get them to pick the deer up...
