Finishing a deer with a pistol

[bentstick]

No. Actually my BIL that lives near traverse city went through this with a cop up there, BIL stopped at an accident where a deer was hit, Pleaded with cop to put deer that wash thrashing and making some horrific noises to put it out of it misery.

You are allowed to if"in season and have proper license" if you have the responding officers or Dnr permission,only reason permission has to granted is it in a right of way ie the road,other than nope it up to officer or DNR to finish off the animal

Of course, you can’t! It is absolutely not legal during the bow season! Your friend either tried to betray you, or he didn't know it himself:Ноно:

Not illegal but your buddy may have a hard time sleeping if his conscious starts to make up stories in his head. You good man!

Use a tar arn.

It's a sad state of affairs when you can not dispatch a mortally wounded animal by shooting, stabbing, or bludgeoning...the poor thing has to suffer until a DNR or LEO shows up and puts it out of its misery. That is inhumane and just plain wrong.

But it IS the law as written.
If it is not in season or you don't have a license, you can't legally kill it.
