i would have done the same thing you did without question

I've seen a lot of these types of threads on here over the past few months...It seems to me a lot of guys are pretty quick to shoot every deer with a gimp in it's step...obviously not the case with this fawn and I feel you did the right thing. Sad though. Just remember how very very tough these animals are before you go "putting them out of their misery" guys.

And before you ease your conscience understand who it is that will be the law when you plug a deer out of season. I could go on and on with examples but for starters look at what's going on with the autorney gerneral of the state of Ohio. I'm telling you to not give these people a reason to talk to you. Your life means less to them than the lunch their going to have later on. (I actually had an issue with a government agency and when there wasting my time/money the receptionist told me, all excited, that it was soup day.[:@])

You did the wrong thing kid (I've read some of your post) and for your own good don't do it again and never talk about this.

A young man called the warden about poachers. As he was leaving his hunting area the same warden arrested him. It was a hassel and thrown out at trial, yes it went that far. The family had just lost a son in a terrible accident and many people (most likely the warden also) knew about it.

The kid took a powerful deer this year.Couldn't be happier for him.

I hate to see any animal suffer but I personally don't like to mess with Mother Nature! A GW might not see it the same way you do and you get busted for killing a deer out of season and loose your privilege to hunt for a few years and a hefty fine to boot. Its nature and happens on a daily basis, get over it!

I would do the same thing...................but I wouldn't have posted it on the internet.

some of the people on this place amazes me... so damn worried about the wardens.. dnr this dnr that.. you all must have some *ic*head's for game wardens... there jus like any of us.. they would do the same thing..no one in there right mind could look at a fawn with 2 broken legs an guts hangin out an jus walk away shruggin your shoulders sayin cant shoot it the warden will get me! you did the right thing!

where I'm from, a guy can loose his right to hunt for 3 years. So I'm not scared of a warden but I am scared of loosing my license for 3 years. And it happens. And I havent met many wardens with a sense of humor.

bemid..."It seems to me a lot of guys are pretty quick to shoot every deer with a gimp in it's step"

Give me a break....you are wrong. Many people on here have a heart in more ways than one..first, we care about the suffering of animals and two...we have a heart in terms of not backing down from what is "right".... what the law says is not always the right and ethical thing to do.

nodog..." You did the wrong thing kid (I've read some of your post) and for your own good don't do it again and never talk about this."

Nodog, alot of us on here don't give a damn about what the DNR says about things like this, because we have a soul that transcends the law...there is natural law.

I hear that, it's unfortunate that the Wardens are forced into these situations because of people breaking the game laws! Touchy subject but I choose to follow the game laws and can live with the choice I make!
