RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
I walked back to where the doe was and her legs front were mangled up pretty badly....panting up a storm. So.......what do you do? Sometimes you just do what you have to. |
RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
I hear ya Duke.
When I tried to get close to her ....she tried to get up and couldn't. She slid down an embankment and under a small group of bushes. She laid there.....panting....until the GW came and dispatched her. She HAD to have been in a world of pain....but I remember her browsing on a leaf above her.....still panting. I don't know why.....but that image is burned in. I'll never forget it. It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. |
RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
Wow, this has taken a tangent.
There really is no right answer to this question. As I said I would contact the DNR in this specific case and if they said no I wouldn't kill the deer. There is no guarantee that it is going to die anyway. There was a photo sequence in D&DH I believe that showed a yearling doe with an infection on its chest that started out the size of a tennis ball and grew to the size of a beach ball and was almost dragging on the ground in a few weeks. Later photos showed the sack had broken and weeped and it eventually shrank to nothing but some loose skin. Deer are incredible animals. |
RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
Here is where everyone is getting messed up. People try to make a coorelation to a hobbling or limping deer to one that is near roadkill, can't move, can't get up, and clearly dying. You can't compare the two. I ahve seen many deer hobbling for a long time on three legs. But people want to justify thier actions of shooting limping deer. There is no comparison

ORIGINAL: mobow You never know what other critter you may be saving by allowing it to be caught and eaten....Sadly, this doe isn't the only suffering critter in the woods, maybe this needs to happen to save something else....It's hard, I know. I don't like to see them suffer either. |

ORIGINAL: GMMAT Hey PT.....got a question for ya.....coming up. I've often said that "Ethics is doing the right thing.....when even the wrong thing isn't against the law". That works both ways, though;) Here's a scenario....... Family is rowing around in the city lake in a rented rowboat. Little girl stands up on her seat and falls into the water. You start to jump in after her......but notice the sign that reads "NO SWIMMING ALLOWED". Do you do what's "right"......or break the law? In each situation before us (Huntingson's and my hypothetical).....I trust myself to makeTHE correct"ethical" choice. OK.........Preacher Tony.........Suppose the sign said " NO SWIMMING/NO WADING"????? |

RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
After reading too many of the this or thats my answer is simple,
I'd do the right thing and never mention it to anyone regardless of the outcome and what I think the right thing is was and in the end, it's between me and my God and I hope he approves. |
RE: WWYD (what would you do)????
ORIGINAL: GMMAT PT it's as much "Swimming" as putting an animal out of it's misery is "hunting". I doubt a Game Warden would give anyone permission to go looking for a wounded deer to put it down out of season. |
