How many of us would have shot the buck in the same situation?
If I was walking home from hunting and some buck was fighting a deer statue in my yard I would definitely try to shoot it, and if I wounded it and it had the statue fall on it and trap it, then I would finish it off. The only other option would be to release it and let it die a terrible death from the wound.
One time while my dad and I were out hunting, my mom let their dogs out and a MONSTER buck walked within 60 yards of her while she was out with the dogs... Go figure that out. Weird stuff happens. My dad and I saw nothing that morning
