Poor Deer :(

kay lol dont blame me here. That's exactly what im saying is a cop or game commisison would have to be called. The doe isnt in sight anymore. Have you ever seen how fast a deer can go when it's injured? Fight or flight responce. Please dont blame me for something i have no control over. I do agree the right thing to do is put her down. I feel horrible for her but I live at home with my parents (rent from them) on her property what she says goes. sorry.

I'm not blaming you, I'm just wondering why you didn't try to call the police if you knew they were one of the only options for ending her suffering, and if she's got two broken front legs shes not exactly going to leap off into the sunset. If you've got snow on the ground where you are, it would be easy to track her with her drag marks and whatnot.
I understand though and I'm not trying to hassle you, really

thanks good cuz it was making me feel even worse haha! Im glad you're not upset with me personally just the situation I am too

Both are deffinatly broken, i've seen deer with one front broken leg and they get around pretty fine and thrive...but she was down low to the snow one was broken worse than the other.

I explained above about why i cant call the state cops (we dont have town cops). When my hubby was a manager and there was small robbieries the state cops wouldnt evne come out so that's tellin ya something there lol. My hubby called the cops one time about someone locking a beagle pup in their car in 90 F weather.....after an hour he got fed p with it and broke the drivers window down and got the puppy out which died later..... the cops came out one chewing on a doughnut (no suprise there) and they were very upset about the puppy...but if they would have came sooner maybe they could have saved it...the girl who put teh pup in there got yelled at and that was it....she had a pit bull puppy just weeks later.

I have nothing against the state cops, but they will tell me they have more important things to do than track down a deer in the pitch black.

Believe me though when i say snow does not stop an injured deer from fleeing.

When i ran inside to tell my mom to come otu and see her..she took off like she was flying.....they can get around quite well when they feel their safety is comprimised....deers wth broken backs can even get away from hunters. I've hunted enough to know

If she was just laying up there thered be no question about what i could do.

I get what you're saying but the doe isnt in the back yard anymore she's up in the woods either bedded down or still trying to find a safe place to do so. Cops only come out in our county if the deer is down or in a visable spot. I can't see her it's pitch black out....last i saw of her was her tail flying in teh air as she dashed off haphazardly.

If she was just laying up there...id have snuck up and slit her throat...she's not though....theres no way i could keep up with that doe....beleive me they can fly no matter how bad theyre hurt.

I'm so sorry Niki.

I have seen many injured deer before. it is sad to see them suffer. It is the same here. Takes the cops or troopers a lonnngggggg time to get here and their stations are only 5 mins. away. Sad. Lol. How much snow is there where she was walking? Are there roots or something that she could have tripped over simotaneously (sp?)? I hope she gets put out of her misery either by mother nature tonight or you or the game commision tomorrow. I have heard the calls that are screeching noises when they are shot from the hunters in my woods at my old house.

Cody!!

In Tenn. as long as you notify law enforcement or the game wardens and provide your name within 48hrs it is legal to posses "roadkilled" deer. Other large game you must have a reciept from a game warden for it. I would check my local laws and if at all possible put the poor animal out its misery.

I have never heard of any law that prevents the humane distruction of a fataly wounded animal. You are not trying to keep it and nurse it. You are putting it out of a miserable and cruel death!

It's in the book they give you when you buy liscences.

Trust me I read through the whole book. I think it was in law to prevent someone from saying "It was injured!" when their potching(sp)

The problem is she cant because its too dark. I am in Niki's part of the country and it gets dark here at 5:30 most days. Lol

thank you cats...this is exactly what im getting at lol. With my mom and the neighbor knowing i could be reported for poaching. They will NOT let me kill a deer even if i call them it's illegal. Thank you again!
