Default RE: Deer and ethics

Farm Hunter - Common sense you don't stop and try to handle a skunk. If I had a firearm and it was in the country, yes I would.

"Snake or frog" isn't there some understanding of higher level of animals? Besides neither are likely to survive being run over by several thousand pound vehicle.

Besides I did say you had to do this, if you're skimish and don't care that a large wild animal has been injured and without someone intervening will suffer for some time. I just said I would and I think the ethical thing to do is to put a deer or moose out of its misery as soon as possible, if you have the means and you won't endanger yourself or anyone else in the process. If that's not possible, well then you don't have a choice do you?
