We do this all the time for fish, what about Catch and Release for Deer? Just dart the animal take, your pictures with it and let it run free.
How about C&R other amimals as well?

The WHA - World Hunting Association tried to get the ball rolling on this. All the major hunting groups and animal welfare groups in unison shot it down. Not a good idea period. Research is one thing like they do with the rhino's in Africa but darting a deer for picture is stupid.

Funny one....You could brand them or notch the ears too. I hope your kidding pegasurus. You know darting them is not going to fly on this forum.

While darting deer may not be too much fun, darting stupid people would be a blast!!! Just dart'em, take your picture with'em, then release'em back into the urban jungle!!!! You would never run short on targets!!!  
Grab ahold of something, bite your lip, and GIVE IT HELL!!!!!

This idea was tried by someone a few years ago. If I remember correctly they were even making it a competition and had systems for archery as well. It failed I think.
Sorry, If I'm gonna wait that long to get into a stand from year to year....I'M PUTTING SOME DEER MEAT IN THE FREEZER! I also don't want a buck someone else may have shot, measured and took their picture with. That jsut doesn't do it for me, sorry.

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

If I surgically remove the backstraps with my knife and then let the deer go do you think that they will still survive okay? If so, I'm all for hunt and release.

How about C&R other amimals as well? I totally agree we should do that...it is a scientific fact that deer do not *need* their backstraps, they can be surgically removed and they will still survive. The problem that hunters out here are having are the ridiculous rates that most trophy bucks want to stand through the living room wall with baseball caps hanging off of their antlers for days on end....
