It's deer hunting season in most parts of the country and the weapon of choice is usually a rifle or bow and arrow. Rarely does someone intentionally go after a deer with their vehicles as most deer are willing to run into you.
But at a sting in Vermont, one man went way beyond what officials had anticipated. Of course, it's illegal to shoot deer from a public road and from your vehicle, so by placing a deer decoy in a field off a heavily traveled road, state game officials sought to bag a poacher. Instead, they bagged a dumbass. Joseph Clark, 31, saw the deer in the moonlight and turned his Chevy Cavalier toward the animal and ran it over! Not only that, but Clark's girlfriend and 4-month-old daughter were in the car when the incident took place.
Unless he can prove the deer was threatening his family, Clark now faces a variety of charges including taking a deer illegally, felony unlawful mischief, possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license. (Burlington Free Press)
