Someone might tag a stag

[Zag]

Slim chance but he'll make over a couple hills to our place, but someone's gonna get a crack at him.

I think it escaped from the movie the deer hunter.

Neat !

[J.B.]

That would be pretty cool to see him in the woods.

We had a fallow deer a few years ago where we hunt in Cuba,  my buddy had pictures of it in his driveway.

[helmut in the bush]

My Buddy shot a some kind of Ram behind his house, it had full curls 

[LET EM GROW]

Cool sighting, That's not too far from where I live. 

The owner is probably waiting for someone to kill it then press charges lol. The New America...  

[Dinsdale]

There was a Red Deer roaming around N. Dutchess maybe 10 years ago during fall. DEC said go ahead and shoot it if seen, and like the idiots they were guys where I was hunting let it go. They are damn good table fare.

wow that would be awesome eating... imagine how much meat yield there.. couple hundred lbs? .. expensive meat in the store tho!!

[Robhuntandfish]

cant imagine that if you didnt know a stag or a buffalo was on the loose and it walked out in front of you!  might think you got too close to that mushroom hanging on the tree next to your stand!

I cut huge tracks walking to my stand a few years ago and thought a moose came down from the ADK's   Sat in stand for hours thinking wouldn't that be cool to see.  I mean smack dab in the middle of 70 acres. I later meandored to the top of the hill, sitting there and I catch movement, it's a cow lol.  Apparently escaped from the adjacent farm but that itself was a long way off.

How could they do that?

[LET EM GROW]

At the end of the article, the DEC they couldnt do anything since no regulations on the animal, but stated there could be possible owner charges if wanted to.. 

[First-light]

We have Sitka deer on Long Island. No need to tag them and take as many as you like. During season.

Many years ago one made it to Webster . My Dads back senor light went off a couple times one night, the next day he found very large tracks in his garden, later it was spotted bedded down in a field a few houses away . 

 Made the news as spotting continued for awhile .

[ny hunter]

Would be very cool too see.. I would let it go I would be afraid of getting fined or in some kind of hot water...

[johnplav]

"If anything, he said it could become a civil action between the deer’s owner and the deer hunter."

So if you shoot it... don't tell anyone (except us, cryptically) 

[ny hunter]

Not worth it ... Let it walk

I’ve posted this before but I had one walking all around me on thanksgiving one year, the guy across from our lease in Delevan had lost them a couple years earlier

This one hasn't even been reported missing by the owner.  Good luck to him prosecuting a claim if its killed by a hunter.  Heck some hunters might not be aware at least initially that its not a whitetail.  Now if you know the farm where it was raised like TC did, reporting it to the owner and letting it run is the right thing to do.  IMHO.

Not sure how one catches one that escaped.  Hunt with tranquilizer darts?

I always found that scene fascinating. There’s the shot of them driving with Pittsburgh in the back round, next their in the Canadian Rockies, then they shoot an animal not even native to N. America.

That was another concern I have, I think these animals get drugged and moved and I didnt want to eat it
