Indiana police are using a little technology to stop poachers from killing unsuspecting deer. They have begun using motorized decoy deer all across northwest Indiana. The decoy is placed along the road with an officer planted in the woods controlling its motorized head. It has been resulting in arrests of up to five poachers per day. The decoy looks so realistic that most people have to do a double-take. Even if a hunter shoots the decoy he will still be subject to a fine and criminal charges. No word from the robotic deer, but they are expected to strike soon for better wages. Getting shot day in and day out is pretty tough work.

where the hell is rudolf in all of this! hey...did it ever occur to anyone else how close rudolf and adolf actually are? They were both pretty big into the color red too...
Just wait till they turn on us.
Do Hunters Dream of Electric Deer? Sorry, couldn't resist...
They've been doing the same thing with non-robotic deer for some time, as well.
They ought to equip it with a machine gun, and let real deer control the thing. Even the odds a bit.
I will not shut the deer at all
NO SHUTING ROBOTIC DEER
