It must have been moving oddly prior to your buddy shooting it? I would think that spine impacts the gait? Did he know ahead of time and make a “mercy kill?” Extra large, golf ball size = something went wrong. I don’t know if I care to consume (nor do I thankfully have the necessity to consume) “wrong” meat.

I've eaten plenty of deer that had broken bones or scare tissue,but this looked more like a birth defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBowhunter Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hit by a car, repairs by a vet. Spine injury are probably aftermath of the accident that healed on its own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtiscoPaul Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) This is damn crazy I love it...vet fixed him up so someone could harvest him...DEC shot one on thin ice here last week...the things people do, ha Look, feel, smell...then taste...If it passes all four in that order I’m eating it... anyone think cattle are healthy in contrast?

rachunter Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Found someone to take the meat.The condition of the deer didn't faze him one bit.I made a baitsicle out of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesee_mohican Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've never heard of a vet operating on a wild deer, thought it was a joke at first. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'll be that guy and ask it. Your brother shoots a deer... a bb at that, and then says you can have the meat? Why'd he shoot a small ass button buck if he didn't want to eat it? Or is your freezer empty? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why'd he shoot a small ass button buck if he didn't want to eat it? Or is your freezer empty?My brother has only been hunting a few years now and still get excited when he sees any deer. Plus this is on Long Island which is over run with deer and he had a tag for it. I’d of shot it even if it was a small ass doe. The smallest deer I ever shot where a pair of 14 pound does good eating some people still hunt for the meat. I butcher his deer for him most of the time like I said he new to it. I didn’t get a deer this year so he gave it to me. He only eats the back straps which is fine with me. Nothing ever goes to waste. If I still hunted the way I use to I’d stack those small ass deer up like cord wood. I’d even shoot as many old ass does as possible. It’s called thinning the herd something most wont do.

NonTypical Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I agree with you 100% rachunter. The population on Long Island is out of control. Most people don’t realize the consequences of having a deer herd out out of balance. Too many hunters here hang it up around Thanksgiving. There is a reason that we have a 4 month season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe a vet would operate on a BB with a spinal injury like THAT. If the leg injury was repaired by a vet, the spine happened before or after. As others have said, that little dude lived a FULL 8 months +/-......... Edited January 31, 2020 by Lawdwaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
