I just put up a 4 foot fence a few weeks ago to let my dog rune instead of being stuck in a small kennel and the strays out. The strays were getting too close to my daughter playing in the yard. I go out to do some work in the yard and my dog (shepherd lab mix) takes off straight to the fence to where the deer is at. As I pull up the deer is still alive but it appears the rear ankle is broken. I tried to free the deer but she was not happy and it was too dangerous. I had to put the dog back in the kennel as he was not happy the deer was in his teritory. DNR was not in yesterday or at least wouldn't answer the phone. State Police came out and tried to help me free the deer. The deer tried kicking and really damaged the ankle as it was freed. It just laid there and the officer put it down. We were hoping to get it free so it could take off but it didn't work out. The only possible good thing was it was a doe (looked like a yearling)
Sure enough, not 3 minutes after he shot the deer, a call came accross his radio for shots fired. I could understand if they saw a hunter in their front yard shooting, but as soon as they hears shots they call 911. If they would just have taken a second to see what was going on and saw the officer there. I'm done my little rant now /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
