Interesting post for sure. I live on LI and yes there are deer in PJ. Well if you not against hunting call the DEC and let them handle it in the correct manner. As for the deer surviving who knows, it sure didn't hit any vitals. Interesting you came here in the first place. Call the DEC if this thread is really true and get it done. Honestly I hope the animal has died from its injury and is off in the woods some place.
