CA Fish & Game. They were chasing deer hunting poachers. They got one at his house, he had taken a doe and thrown it in the lake, as he said it was an accidental shot, and he didn't know what to do.
They confiscated his gun, and gave him a court date to appear.
But I do know that the deer herds back east have grown to outrageous sizes, and threaten road traffic a lot.
Cars are wrecked and sometimes the driver killed, and motorcycles, if they hit a deer, it can be fatal.
Plus I also know that the food banks for the needy can be enhanced with the venison.
I don't know about the California venison, but, due to the diet, and the lack of water, it may be raunchy.
The best stuff would possibly be in the farm areas, southern Michigan and others, where the deer are corn fed, or feed on good agricultural product. Better meat that way.
I think there just aren't as many deer hunters as in previous years.
