Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

The deer was hurt, how, who knows. The antlers tell the story. The antler on the right was smaller meanining that the deer was hurt on the left side. I have shot over a hundred deer and sometimes they do funny things that make you shake your head and sometimes make you say that deer wanted to die.

You can't compare a person with a disability to a deer or any other game animal. Those of us with a disability can thank GOD that Dr. Kevorkian, (dr. death) has past on, he would have been a czar in 2014. Others did not have to watch the video, curiosity got the best of you.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

Fly Rod, I shot a deer several years ago with a similar, but smaller headgear. Right antler was a was about 12 inches long, the left antler was about 4 inches long with a hook on the end. It didn't "look" hurt at all and was making its way through the woods just fine.

On butchering it we learned that it either fell or was hit by a car quite a while earlier (like a year or two). Its back had been broken, its ribs were a knarled mess, there was almost a 1/4 turn to its whole body. It is amazing that it survived the trama that it experienced earlier.

Saying all that to validate your mention that there was something wrong with that deer. Whether it was the onset of rabies, CWD, a car accident, a fall, or a fight with another deer. In the end, there was something wrong and that deer was a danger to the front of someones camero, someones life, or to himself and would find itself on the wrong side of a preditor attack. Survival of the fittest, and that one wasn't the fittest!

Not a fan of them VIDEOING the dispatching of the animal in that manner, but not opposed to the dispatch.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

aspeck:
I just happened to click onto a hunting program a few weeks ago which was an hour long about deformities in deer and the antler situation was just one of the topics covered,left antler right rear side injury, right antler, left side. One of the other things mentioned was the hoof being knobed over or cracks which was caused from eating to much corn. And they also covered deer with tumors on the hide and they say that the meat is still good to eat, I'd pass on that. We do not have CWD around here or in Maine. We do have a heavy deer tick infastation where I live in Mass.

I agree about the dispatching and I do not believe in baitng bear.

Guess we agree on a lot more than just boats and boating.

BTW, as soon as I saw the rack on the deer in the video I thought that there was some kind of trama to the deer either during the antler development that year, or to the musuclar-skeletal system in a prior year.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

I guess the 3 of us, at least, agree. What's worse than baiting bear is chasing them up a tree with dogs. Which is legal in WI. Chase it up a tree, shoot it, or let it go because it isn't big enough. Real sporting. Then the hunters complain that their dog was killed by the bear or a wolf as they're running through the woods. The dogs carry radio collars, or, can be tracked by GPS. If a wolf kills a dog they can get up to $2000 for that dog, from my tax dollars...

As far as deer, I feel I'm about the only one who doesn't feed them or bait them(which is legal while hunting).

roscoe, thanks. Lots of good info. Don't worry about the dog, she stays in the yard and the deer, ect. stay clear.


DON"T FEED THE DEER

I think you are missing the point.

It's usually not the deer.
The deer don't infect the ticks.
Rodents infect the ticks.
And its not a deer tick, its a black legged tick, that people call a deer tick.

The tick only spends about 2 weeks of its 2 year life cycle on a host, usually a rodent or small animal like a rabbit or squirrel.
The rodents move the ticks to your grass, then your dog picks it up when it goes to walk or pee or play.

If you shoot a deer with a bunch of ticks on it, they are usually wood ticks. B-L ticks are not active during cold weather, and hibernate thru winter.


Yes it is an ugly and messed up infection.
My grandmother and uncle had it.
My cousin has it.
Wife's dog has it.


Get your dog vaccinated. Get the follow up boosters.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

I agree: DON'T FEED THE DEER, or any other wild animal. The deer had obviously been fed by humans. Turtles become way aggressive in the water when people feed them. Even the smallest turtle can snip off a finger in a heartbeat. They give me the willies if they are too friendly under water.

As for killing the dear, it was a just kill. I don't think they cared about any possible disability here and that's how it should be. When I hunt (with a spear gun) I always go for the easy kill and usually that's the closest. I will often crash land just outside a hole and take a deep breath. The biggest fish almost always come out to see what the noise was about and pop. Most of my shots are within 2 feet. I haven't missed in a while. However, unlike those hunters, sometimes I get to deal with Mr Sharkey after I make a kill.

roscoe, thanks again.
I picked up on the rodents when reading the links and will make sure of the preventive care.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

Yep that deer most likely was hit hard on the side of the head, the horns are the tell tale. Usually the good side of the rack is where the impact occurred, and the horn and affected area will show up on the other side of the head. Just looking at the rack, this is what looks like happened here. The fact that he?s not afraid could be brain damage or just another city deer that isn?t afraid anymore. Usually best to cull that guy and keep his genes out of the future deer herd.

And for woosterken, don?t compare yourself to a deer, a wild animal that has been injured, you are a human being not a deer, so I don?t think anyone wants to cull you. Funny how you would think there is a valid comparison; you wouldn?t jump into the tiger cage at the zoo would you? That?s because you are smart enough, where this deer isn?t. Hope this helps you on the graphic nature of the video.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

I'm having trouble with this one. I hunted deer for years and shot some nice bucks. But I don't think I could have done that. It's like hunting at the zoo. But, to each their own.

This happened in my home province.

Re: Youtube - Fearless Deer

I have some friends in Northern Minnesota who lived in the wilderness and raised a buck whose mother was road kill. At about 3 it wound up on the table, for safety reasons.

I was visiting one time when it was about 2 and he butted me when I was trying to get an armload of firewood. I conked him right on the head with a stick of wood. He thought it was fun. I didn't.
