gitcha_some Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 today when i was driving home from work i took the backroads to look for deer. well i finally saw one but was compltetly shocked, i look up ahead and see a four point standing by the road waiting to cross, paceing back and forth. i slow down to take a look and no joke, all of its intestines were hanging out out of its chest! i felt so bad for it i was about to take a risky step and just pull over and shoot it to put it out of its misery but this was on a very busy road and i would deifantly be in a jail cell right about now LOL i was absolutely disgusted though, i mean it wasnt just a little piece either, it was the whole thing. the only explanation i can think of is some unethical hunter( and i use that term loosely ) took a texas heart shot, missed all the vitals, but the bullet pulled the intestines out the exit wound....a sad thing to witness and more disturbing considering the animal will most likely die a slow painful death, and also because acts like this give hunters a really bad name especially around here where its full of liberals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: disturbing If you had been in Idaho, you could have shot it, called Fish & Game and they would have come and gotten it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstringking Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: disturbing that is a shame. i wouldnt jump to blame it on an unethical hunter but i can understand how you could see that happening. it always sucks seeing a deer (especially a buck) die and not be put to use.

Guest bowcrazy Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: disturbing Our police/troopers have been know to come out and take care of a deer in this situation if someone just gives them a call. They do it fairly frequently, as my buddy is on their list to take the ones in good shape for the meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSGB Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: disturbing Hopefully you called someone to come and take care of it. DNR, animal control, sheriff's dept. I would think it was probably hit by a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had 4 auto deer accendents in my Sunday school class sence December. That's out of 10 guys. They just seem to be moving on the road alot lately. I do hate to think about a deer dying that kind of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gitcha_some Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: disturbing no the deer was perfectly fine everywhere else on its body, i seriously doubt it was a car, and to the guy who asked why i didnt watch it die and find it, because the deer was acting completely normal as if the wound wasnt even there he was just trying to cross the road, he had no other body damage. and this is near baltimore the cops around here wouldnt know what to do with a live injured deer on there hands LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDeerHunter Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: disturbing Based on the description, I would guess that he may have been gouged by a metal fence post while jumping. Usually a gunshot will cause more trauma. And, what the heck is a Texas heart shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnatecsteve Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: disturbing Hard to tell exactly what happened, but the deer definately wasn't going to survive. I definately would have contacted someone to put the deer down or at least get permission to do so yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
