Hey guys, I'm not a hunter but thought I'd browse over to this forum and post this question for your input and suggestions...here's the situation. My wife and two young kids got home tonight about 5:45 to find a guy in camo holding a rifle and standing over a deer at the top of my driveway. I live in the county, not city limits, but we're also in a large residential neighborhood. It just happens that my yard is at the end of a cul-de-sac that backs up against woods. My wife was very upset about the deer and the stranger in the yard with a gun. He asked if he could leave the deer there and go get his truck. She said, "uh, OK but what are you doing here..." He said he killed the deer in the woods but not on our property.

She called me...I was on way home so I called my next door neighbor to go talk with him and also called the sheriff. It turns out he lives two steets over (I saw his truck as he was leaving and followed him home.) He left me a nice puddle of blood to clean up at the top of my driveway and some freaked out kids.

So I told the sherriff "nevermind" since he lives in the neighborhood. I also called Wildlife but they sounded like they could give a fat rats a$$. So what would you have done? My next door neighbor told me he chewed him out for dragging that deer through my yard...

Thanks for any input. Like I say I'm not a hunter but still a lifetime outdoorsman in my state...
