The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fightdown with a rope with some dignity. A deer, no chance.
Actually also had an experience quite some time back, so I know that they are pretty strong, event hought his was a smaller one. I was driving with my car at night through some hills around Vienna. I know that there are some deer but not so much and I never encountered one even thoguh I drove there very often. So I went around a curve, and suddenly there it was. It probalby didn't have expected me, because I came around the corner, or maybe it was confused by the lights of the car. It jumped over the street and I hit it right with the front. Because it was coming down from a a higher level, it's head was pretty deep down at this moment, so my car hit it right in the jugular. It just fell down from the impact and llay there, so we went out of the car to examine it. We noticed that it had a really big hole in the jugular, and it wasn't moving, but it still breathed. Seeing the gaping hole we figured that it would be soon dead anyway. Normally we would have to report this incidient to the police, but my friend's mother was a three star cook, so he said we should put it in the trunk and bring it to her to make some nice meal. :)
We move it over to the trunk and it still didn't move and we tried to lift it. Since it was still breathing, my friend suggested to kill it off first, before we put it in the trunk but we hadn't had any tools with us. So we thought we could strangle it, because it wasn't moving and didn't show any signs of resistance. That was a big mistake though. As soon as we put our hands aorund it's neck (and we both tried it together) it suddenly started to kick and went quite crazy. Aparently our first aid attempt helped, because it scrambled up and ran away. But when I had my hadns around it's neck, I could feel how strong it's muscles are there. I tried to squeeze in that short moment, and it didn't even budge. Felt as if you tried to strangle a tube made of concrete.
Luckiliy nothing happened, because it simply ran away in panick. I guess it might have died in the forrest, but don't know for sure, because it was quite heavily insured. Would have been nicer to give us a good meal, but it disagreed somehow. :)

Apart from the fact that what you tried was illegal, even if the deer had been dead, the story also makes you look like an emotionless bastard. If it's even true that is.

Never bring a rope to a deer fight.

Sure. Whatever you think. I'm sure that you always think straight in whatever situation you may be. That it would have been illegal I know myself. That I'm emotionless just because of that, I don't think so. After all, we thought that it was pretty much dead anyway. Also we just had this car crash with that deer lying in front of us. In fact, at first we considered to put it in the ditch beside the street, because we thought it was dead.
But I know that it's easy to judge something from your comfy chair.

You sure make it easy to judge you from any sentient viewpoint.
Whatever happened to calling a forest warden so he could handle the situation appropiately? Did the idea never occur to you?
And besides it doesn't look like you learned anything from the experience. Instead you go to an internet forum and tell the story of how you acted like a braindead idiot as if it's something to be proud of.

...and the phone number to the nearest forest warden just appears from?

Good luck finding an officer in the middle of the night in the forrest. I'm sure there are plenty around where you are living, but here they are not. In fact I was going to the police to report the incident and I had a hard time finding one.

Well, it is something to be proud of, right? Shows that I have the killer instinct like a real man should. :ebil:

You can call the police and they will inform the warden. It's really not hard. In fact it is what everyone in Germany has to learn and gets tested about before he gets his driver's license.

It happens in Smallville and X-Files ALL THE TIME so there.

Y'see, not everyone's got a German education, or can cope with the huge helping of WTF that comes with those situations. Thus stupid happens, such as trying to strangle a deer.
I don't know about deers, but mooses(meese???) have the bad habit of coming sit on your face when collided with. It does not help when you're trying to dial the police with a face full of moose-ass.
