Species Account:
I was a passenger in a truck traveling east on Baseline Rd. when I noticed an Antelope in the road. The antelope was running east bound on the road. As we came closer to the antelope, the buck ran off the road towards a fence on the south side of the road. The buck then began running along the fence. The buck attempted to run through the fence, a 4 wire fence, and instead hit his head on a fence post, breaking his neck. I immediately contacted Idaho Fish and Game officers Curt Stiglets and Jeff Day. After explaining the death of the antelope, Officer Day stated that it was okay to harvest the animal, however he wanted me to check with Officer Stiglets. I had a prior conversation with Officer Stiglets and he was a bit hesitant allowing harvest of the animal. After explaining the circumstances to Officer Stiglets, he asked that I remove the internal organs of the animal to cool the meat, and then he would have an officer respond to investigate the animals death. The temperature outside was approximately 60 degrees and I was worried that the meat would spoil. I made the decision to remove the internal organs and place the animal in the vehicle I was driving. Prior to touching the animal I took 8 photographs of the animal and text the pictures to Officer Stiglets. I telephoned Officer Stiglets and stated to him that I had removed the antelope from the road due to concerns of the meat spoiling and of a passerby taking it.
