Watched a dog take down a deer today

[The_Real_TCIII]

I was rabbit hunting in the swamps and there were deer everywhere. All of a sudden I hear barking and a dog chases a button buck out onto a frozen field and takes it down. I ran across the field and fired my gun in the air which scared it off but the deer died a few minutes later. It was a big coon hound type dog. The deer is alive in these pics

That's messed up.  Did you call DEC?

any idea if the dog was feral? Alamaba swamps or someplace closer to home?

That had to be one hungry hound.  Crazy.

Alabama. Didn’t get
Close enough to see a collar

The DEC showed up after I left and checked my friend. He told the guy about it but he didn’t seem too interested

It's even more messed up in hope to nail ya with a ticket or something instead of protecting wildlife.

Sucks....Lead would have been headed towards Hound not air.   Call Wolc.....He would be dripping for that freebie!

There was a pit bull trotting down the road on my way in today too.

Seems like they would at least look around the neighborhood and ask a bit.

A slow, painful death like that hurts the flavor, best leave it for the coyotes.  I would be interested in the tail though.  Button buck tails make the best bass jigs.

Not to sound like a dick, but that little fawn might have been dying before the dog came along to do it a favor by finishing it off.

It hasn't exactly been an easy winter for them so far, and I'm sure it's taking a toll on a number of them.

Ultimately the dog will take the blame/credit for the kill, but I'd almost be willing to bet there was more going on there than just that.

Maybe they will, that’s all I was hoping for. Remind people to keep their dogs home where they belong

Certainly possible. The deer were yarded up good there

Asinine the Dec didn't care or offer up a tag to not let it waste. And they wonder why so many have had feelings for them

  Hard to believe the DEC. couldn't have tracked the dog home & got the owners.  The other thing is a well trained coon dog most likely would not have bothered with a deer.

My money is on that pit bull you seen.

And you didn't salvage the LIVER ??,,,DAMN !!!...

I don't think my friend asked him for a tag. And it wasn't the pit bull, I got a good look at it

I would have been interested as well if I could not eat it it would make for some good fresh meat for my dog.cooked of course.Not that I cant feed my pets just ashamed it was wasted.

Dogs will.do what dogs do...

If the dog that killed the deer has rabies, could that be transferred to a person who eats the venison?

Dogs don't need to be hungry to kill deer or sheep.

I'm sure I'd be the wrong thing to ask if you got any bunnies, so I won't.
