This is horrible. And the fact people find this entertaining is half concerning, half disgusting.

I’ve got bad news for you about what humans have been doing for their entire existence.

It's also illegal to hunt by luring deer with feed.

Not in the great state of Oregon for some reason!

The crime in this case is hitting it with a hammer. Most states explicitly say what methods of take are legal and a hammer ain't one of em.

In my state it is legal to use a spear. I've never even heard of someone attempting it, but it is a legal option. The reasoning I heard was that it was one of the methods historically employed by Native Americans in this area, and someone requested it be legal.

It is illegal to bait with food or salt though.

[–] MostRegularPeople@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Regulations state to state are crazy. In my state you can bait but method of take is very restrictive. My kingdom for a spear season.

[–] RudeDuner@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Hunting over bait is quite common in the south. It's bullshit, but quite widespread.

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 days ago

Worth knowing, even if legality is not necessary a mark of much else than legal status. It feels pretty immoral in any case.

Yep. And lots of people on Facebook are proud of their kills and change their profile photo to display them. Despite the fact the deer isn't armed

Those same people trying to look like badasses are the same ones who lose their mind when park gates are closed for seasonal closures and are too lame to pack carry here in Australia

Id say let them hunt. But. Put land mines that detect humans in the same area, and strap guns to the deer with people detection on them

Give the deer an equal fight.
