Cutter Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe She's in real bad shape and probable not long for this world. I would call the game dept. for sure and if they dont want to do anything the Yotes will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe It looks like she has been suffering for much to long already. I would just end it for her and put her in a better place. Compassion is an awesome thing. It is what fish and game will do anyway.l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe I would call the game warden. I am not sure of your laws, but here it is highly illegal to shoot her yourself and even as bad to catch and raise the fawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe I'm not sure but I believe it was on a RealTree home video series that something very similar was shown. I think it was Jim Shockey narrating it too. They said that it was a parasitic infection. It's truely amazing what a whitetail can adapt to living with but that doe looks sickly for sure...cant imagine that she could breed.

Norm Sauceman Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Should have been put down just seconds after this photo was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughboy1956 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Don,t like to see that. She should have been put down in moments after that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Yep gotta agree with everyone else on this one. If you or the game warden's do not find her I'm sure a yote or something will probably take advantage of the oppurtunity. Very sad to see a doe like that though.

Guest Farm Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Wow that's horrible. I'd like to know what exactly happened. Did she mis-carry another fawn that never came out? Poor thing, she's skin and bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Thankfully we mothers don't need to be "put down" when this happens. It's a shame they can't treat her. Oh well. Would probably be too difficult? ( Shot of antibiotics) mastitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisticwhitetails Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Re: I would like everyone to see this doe Ive seen this before and it is a very advanced case of mastitis. I had a doe on my property I first observed in late Jan 99 that had unusually large udders. Besides the mass she looked healthy and was traveling with a yearling doe. The following bow season she showed up on a food plot I was hunting with even larger udders and yes, a new healthy fawn. I tried to take her out but couldnt close the deal, she then went underground and was not seen the rest of the season. The next bow season came and went with no sightings of her. 2 weeks into rifle season she showed up crossing an overgrown clearcut I was watching with yet another perfectly healthy fawn. Her condition was much worse by now and I was successful in taking her out that day. Her milk sack was the size of a soccer ball and hung about 4 inches from the ground. Even in her bad condition she succesfully raised 3 fawns that I know of, and also managed to avoid harvest for 3 years. Her shoulder mount now hangs above my desk as a testament to her resourcefulness and will to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
