My elderly neighbor lady called me this morning. Said there was a deer laying in the back of her house in the bean field. I told her it might be a bow injury. I went over to access it. Got permission from authorities to shoot her. Turned her over, she had a huge old, calloused swelling, and maggots on her left front leg. I figured a car or truck might've hit her. She had suffered a long time. I couldn't help by cry as she went out.
Hunters aren't ruthless killers. We care more for the animals than peta will ever understand. Just my 2 cents...

thanks for doing your part sunset, i have freed deer from fences and stuf and i have finished a few after run-ins with vehichles, it is not something that gives any pleasure, but it should be done. thanks again

You got that right sunset. Way to go.

Things we have to do,You did your job both taking her suffering away and a tear

I feel guilty after shooting a deer during hunting season so I know how you feel. Still not sure if that's what God intended!

thanks....guess I just needed to tell some folks who would understand.

Good work sun, hard to do but needs to be done. Had a few highway incidents myself that i still think about from time to time.

How dare you suset. That deer would have lived Did I sound like a peta freak?????

It had to be done.

Just out of curiosity, what is the fastest way to shot a wounded deer so that it will expire quickly. Do you shoot it in the head or a vitals area (heart, lung) shot. Just curious in case I ever come across this situation.

Also, thanks for doing the right thing. I'm sure it was hard.

In reply to joe d: If you had a gun then a head shot would be the way to do it, if you had a bow then through the vitals, try taking a up close head shot on a deer with a bow while its head is moving............darn neer impossible.
Sunset: i know just how you feel my friend spine shot a doe, and she was crying very loud and i had to run out and shoot her through the vitals, and you could just see the air escape from her body, that was a very sad day for me. I patted her and told her it would all be over soon, and me and my friend eric got down on our knees and said a prayer for her and us. I promised her should would not go to waste, and she did her part in this cruel harsh world. By the way sunset, i sent you an email did u get it?
