I'm with you SB, killing the animal would be the humane thing to do, but I doubt most of us are on a first name basis with our GW. Hell, around here they are just waiting on a reason to haul someone in and this would be the perfect opportunity.

I also know my game warden. He'd simply tell me "thanks"....and then we'd figure out what to do with the dispatched animal when he got there. That's me personally, though. You guys have to figure out what's right, for your individual circumstances.

That is a good relationship to have, unfortunately in PA and without knowing the warden personally, which I do (contacted him for reasons about tracking etc..) I would make the call first, dispatch second. It'd only be a matter of minutes to that fact, that is if I'm certain the animal will not survive. They are remarkable and I've seen them go against the odds more than once.

I'm going to shoot first and ask the warden later. Down here that's usually the thing to do. Of course if I was in a northern state or a stste where the wardens were the kind that liked to write people up, I'd probably be more cautious.

Monsterhunter0021,
I am NOT trying to be a jack@**, but I don't even bother trying to read your posts anymore because it is like one big jumbled up bunch of words. I am not a teacher or an english major. We all make mistakes, but I think I speak for more than myself when I ask you to please try using a little punctuation in your posts. If nothing else just throw in a period every now and again. More people will attempt to readyour postsand take you more serious. Sorry if I offended you in ANY way.

Thank you,
Jacob P.
