It would be illegal to shoot the guy unless he was threatening you and your life or grave bodily harm was at risk. We aren't Texas and we can't shoot people just for being on our property. The only thing you can do is tell him to leave and call the cops to trespass him.

He most likely broke a number of laws. It's possible he was legal and that's just where the deer ran to and died, but I wouldn't put my money on that. |

How would anyone know if it was shot with a .22 if the deer was gone before the police showed up? The police have caught the guy. He's from Holly. Thanks I've read accounts of DNR checking carcasses at taxidermists tagged as archery kills where they ID the cause of death as gunshot, and "enforcement action was taken." |

They do check at processors also.

There's no hunting or discharging of firearms allowed in Rochester Hills. |

So, my question is, to what extent can you go to keep the guy off your property? I've been wondering about this since I saw the article the other day. Pretty sure it wouldn't be the greatest idea to shoot the guy and I'm not saying that I would but would it be legal? Getting video of the guy and his license plate is probably a lot better and less costly idea. Is your property posted with No Trespassing signs? If you don't want to argue with an armed hunter, call the State Police. Tell them someone is trespassing and you're willing to prosecute the guy |

There's no hunting or discharging of firearms allowed in Rochester Hills. Plus, rifle caliber's are prohibited for hunting in that area too. Isn't a .22 prohibited hunting round also? Poaching would be another charge. Shooting a deer from a road way would be another charge. Trespassing would be another charge. Destruction to private property would be another charge. Reckless driving would be another charge. I hope they throw the book at the asshole. |

Update: http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2016/11/10/deer-poaching-michigan-rochester-hills/93611956/
Sounds like it ended up being a crossbow, not a .22. That should be the area near city hall with the Clinton River and the old railroad tracks. Not surprised the guy thought he could get away with it. |

This is a picture I took from my yard a couple years ago. There are a lot of deer around here. Some are rather large.

My mom and sister live up off Adams road. Dozens of deer wandering across their six acres every afternoon. No hunting as far as I know, lotta vegan hippie PETA types up there.

I have a to of deer in my yard. I don't know if I should be feeding them or letting them migrate naturally as I like watching them out my window. Not sure the neighbors would agree as they eat all the flowers.

I don't even want to know how much my wife has spent on flowers and bushes.
Best salad bar anywhere for the deer. |
