"AH, so youre saying you would let a deer suffer in a fence and die? Well my brother found a deer tangled in a fence once.. it had a broken leg. SO HE SHOT IT and put it out of its misery. I would have done the same thing."

If his story is correct, then he is the one at fault for injuring the deer to begin with for taking a shot that was out of range. Sorry if you don't agree with me, but it was an unethical kill. He got lucky as heck that the deer got itself trapped under the lawn ornament. I've seen the same thing with people trying to kill deer at300 yds with high powered rifles and then gut shooting them or leg shooting them. I gotta go with Inhunter on this one. It was an unethical shot and the deeer could have just easily run off and died some where from the leg shot.

I would like to know where in southern indiana though.
