Deer with 5 Legs Killed

What is up with the sad face? Natural selection, do you really want that genetic mess producing offspring?
 
DNR might have been able to capture it rather than kill it.

Why? Did you watch the video? The animal wasen't in good condition. Animals with 5 legs aren't that uncommon, I have seen videos/pictures of 5 legged sheep, cattle, goats etc. Besides, it wasen't the DNR that killed it, it was a hunter.
 
I agree, it would have starved. You can see how skinny it was in the video. We killed a young buck on our property a couple years ago cause its antler had grown back over its back preventing him from looking up and grazing from tree limbs and such.
 
I think he did the right thing. If I ever see a deer that is messed up/sick in the woods that is the first deer to go for me. I don't really care if I use up a tag rather than ruin the hunt for the years to come. I would have done the same thing and props to that guy for making the sacrifice of the tag.

I totally agree with Chad55 !!! My dad and i actually have done that before. The deer we found was really messed up, had been shot sometime before we found it and needed to be taken out of it's misery. Some times you just have to do the right thing.
