Old Limpy leg is stronger & smarter than some of you think. How many Zero degree nights have you had? - and he's still showing.

He seems to know the browse is wants needed - not corn or oats. At this point - if he can outlast the coyotes - and get enough browse he could make it. Even if not - Its not your right or place to end this deer's life out of season. If the deer dies a staved death - thats nature.

Let me make it clear to some of you that would "drop it" - Life is creul, especially for the animal kingdom - from top to bottom. Shooting a deer in season is our choice - and given the chance to take a wounded deer in season - I would do it. But out of season - NO WAY.

Look, Don't get caught up in the Bambi Syndrome - too many people try to inject human emotions into the deer's situation. Personally - I feel if the deer has made it this long, there is a real good chance it will survive, and it would be really too bad if someone ended this deer's life - It sounds to me like the deer has "spirit" and a will to live.
