i remember when i was a kid we were at a state park camping in indiana and we went for a bike ride....we happened upon a small 6 pt buck that could barely walk gimping around next to the road...definately needed put out of its misery. me and my dad went to the rangers station and told them about it. the rangers responds was just let him be. had we done the ethical but illigal thing we'd had to hitch hick back to ohio for lack of funds...LOL
