Default RE: Catch and Release Hunting?

A couple years back, a Polar bear wandered into the town of Sept Iles,
Quebec. That bear had a big X in orange paint written on his side by a conservation officer. That meant the bear had already been shot with a
tranquilizer once before. The bear had to be destroyed. Once a bears been under anesthesia, being shot a second time will kill it. I don't know if this applies to deer aswell. Is there a vet online? Interesting question though. Quebec sells catch and release permits for fishing, but you fish with hooks. I think the government would have a hard time handing out
tranquilizers to any hunter who asks!
