RE: Attempted Buck rescue bad ending (pics)
 

Thanks for the kind words guys. Im sure any of you would have did the same thing. This one kind of got to me. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night thinking of all the events that happened yesterday and when i did go out i dreamed of deer all last night. I got to thinking last night, my son had told me last week, that a guy we know who works at a coal mine a couple miles down the road from me, had stoped by and told him that he was seeing a very nice buck crossing the ditch down the road from me on his way home from work a couple of times. Im guessing this is probably the one.

Not to sound like I'm steppin on anything previously posted here, but before we start passing around the tissue box.............

Sure it would be nice (not great) to have just 1 more deer (some unfortunately justsee it as a set of antlers). But this is an extremely rare situation where humans are involved in rescueing a deer from some sort of dire situation.

Mother nature coming thru - STEP ASIDE!

Her house is a VERY BIG and can be very cruel. Deer seccumb (sp?) to various things in places where they are usually never discovered.

Certainly it is not the greatest thing in the worldthat it had to be dispatched. Like Rickmur said it was probobly tagged by a car before it wound up in the hole.

Some may not agree with me but what I guess I'm getting at is it's just another lap in the circle of life.

Great effort on trying to save it. I think that's a great example of the quality of people we have here. Sure, there isn't anyone on these boards that wouldn't consider that guy a shooter but at the same time, we are concerned for the well-being of the deer. So many times, hunters are portrayed as mindless rednecks. You won't ever find the liberal media running a story about a hunter trying to save a life.

DONT do a European Mount.. DO A SHOULDER Mount. That bucks deserves to be portrayed in a Majestic Full Shoulder Mount...

I appluad your efforts - there is no doubt that hunters have more respect for these animals than anyone else!
