Oh, deer — that’s not legal!

Two Miami men were busted this week with an endangered Key deer in the back of their ride, deputies said.

Yoankis Hernandez Pena, 38, and Andres Leon Valdes, 45, were arrested during a traffic stop early Sunday in Marathon, where deputies noticed their Chevrolet hatchback swerving in and out of a lane, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies found an injured Key deer inside the vehicle on top of a cooler, some lawn chairs and other miscellaneous items, authorities said.

Pena and Valdes claimed they struck the endangered deer on US 1 north of the Seven Mile Bridge and thought it was dead. But the area is not a known Key deer habitat, deputies said.

The men eventually realized the deer had survived and said they decided to take the animal to a vet for treatment, but neither Pena nor Valdes called 911 or state or federal wildlife officials, deputies said.

The locals call them ‘rats with antlers’ and they’re all over the place with no fear of humans there.

They’re not very endangered anymore, that’s for sure.

Reminds me of the Sheriff catching Billy-Bob in his skiff with about 4 protected turtles under a tarp.

Sheriff: Billy-Bob, I’ve warned y’all ‘bout this before. I’m gonna have to take you in.

Billy-Bob: But these-ens are the only food for m’family.

Sheriff: Sorry, Billy-Bob, but the law’s the law and you needs to learnt you a lesson.

A few minutes pass on the ride to jail and the Sheriff asks:

Sheriff: I’m curious, Billy-Bob. What does that turtle taste like?

Billy-Bob thinks for a minutes then says:

Billy-Bob: Sorta like bald eagle.

“neither Pena nor Valdes called 911 or state or federal wildlife officials”
That might be because they were taking the deer to a vet, not a government agency, which would promptly shoot the deer.
Not everything needs to be handled by the government.
