November 24, 2007: Hunter without a license

What do you do when you are a hunter but you lose your driver's license? Well you get your deer home any way you can.

This is a very true story and this picture was taken by our babysitter Kristina Blockland, who was with me. On our way into Iron Mountain Sunday morning, driving down Carpenter Ave, we may have found the most dedicated YOOPER deer hunter ever! We had to run to our local Shopko & buy a disposable camera to take these because I didn't think anyone would possibly believe what we saw.

im thinking that it's a road kill. i see no blood from a wound. and if he was a hunter...wouldnt he have a gun somewhere on his person?
Sheldonrs • Nov 23, 2007 7:46 pm
He hit the deer with his bike?

How rude.

Oh wait...I feel a pun coming on...

Rude offed the dead-nosed reindeer.


Feeling passed.
Aliantha • Nov 23, 2007 7:56 pm
maybe he dropped the gun home first?
Aliantha • Nov 23, 2007 7:57 pm
or maybe he put it in the rear holster?

Speaking of holsters, I saw an only in America this fine morning. Dude has the 1/4 acre suburban lot, space is delineated by white washed fence with leeetle American flags mounted on each post, is raking leaves and dumping them into trailer behind 4 wheeler, said four wheeler has mounted scabbard, scabbard contains rifle, which prolly can provide cover over vast acres.

My 4-wheeler had a rack on the front.

The guy couldn't find his scarf, so he grabbed the first thing that came to hand to keep warm.

Why do you think it's dead? He's probably just taking it down to the park for exercise.
ZenGum • Nov 24, 2007 6:29 am
If it's not dead, it's very very calm.

How much would that thing weigh? Roughly large adult human weight, I'd guess. Imagine trying to pedal a bike with that weight on your shoulders. I don't think that could be good for your spine.

Any time anything even slightly interesting happens around here I see 10 people with camera phones snapping away. Poor cell coverage in Iron Mountain?

It's just shagged out after a prolonged squawk.

I wonder how many deer ticks he picked off his neck, back, and out of his hair after the delivery. Those things are usually covered and as the deer cools they quickly look for a new home.

It's a [SIZE=-1]Norwegian Blue deer.

Quite common, this one.

ticks. ick!

In the second picture it looks like he stopped for a moment to allow his picture to be taken. Notice his left foot is on the pavement.... I love that cool old schwinn cruiser he's riding.:thumb:

I have been deer hunting myself a few times and butchered a ton of deer family have shot. There is surprising little blood from a gun shot wound in the deer. And after you gut and bleed the deer before hauling it out it loses a lot of weight and all the blood.

Guesstimate, I would say that deer is about 80-100 lbs.
Gravdigr • Nov 29, 2007 9:10 am
In the lower photo, there appears to be a little blood on the front of the doe's hind leg. Also, note the rope mark in the hair on her neck. This would tend to indicate that the deer was hung from the neck and field-dressed (gutted), so a little less weight to carry. I agree w/Coign, probably 75-100 lbs. As for deer ticks, from the photo it looks well into cold weather, deer ticks would be long gone.
