mud bogger,
You have gotten some advice to process thew deer carcass. DISREGARD that advice if you do not want to wind up in court, talking to the judge about a poaching ticket. You could already be on slippery ground for putting the deer down and for not calling the F & W officers, so they could take care of the carcass.
I hunt in Idaho, but am close enough to the border to know just what kind of sense of humor the Oregon State Police do not have, at least those in Eastern Oregon.
I can not believe that OSP will not know about this thread by tomorrow, that is, if the appropriate F & W officer has not already seen it.
OSP seems to consider their deer to be government property, no matter whose land they are on. I would be very surprised if OSP does not have something to say about your dog's future. And they may expect you to pay the value of the deer.
Did someone already say that perhaps this was not a good place to discuss this issue.
