Ethics or Obeying the law? What's your choice in this situation...
Deer season is NOT in. You are out on an hours-long hike WITHOUT a cell phone to call a conservation officer with. You discover a buck or doe that has both back legs obviously paralyzed. This deer appears to have been injured recently and it cannot drag itself more than 20 feet at a time. You have a handgun or survival knife on your side. WHAT DO YOU DO?
Boys and girls, that's a lot of meat to waste. Do you choose to let the animal suffer for potentially a week or more and just ignore it??
I know what I would do. Do you?
