My buddy bow killed a badly limping doe yesterday.When he got to the deer he found out why the deer was limping.It has a 2 1/2" piece of steel pipe jammed around its lower leg between the hoof and the dew claws.The pipe apparently has been there for quite some time,as it was tight to the deers' leg.It had been causing the deer alot of discomfort according to my buddy.He said the deer could not put any pressure on the leg was stumbling badly in the deep snow.The area around the pipe also looked raw and very bloody.The hoof actually looked as though it was bleeding from the bottom.There was also a growth around the upper portion of the pipe.A portion of the hoof was also white in color.Take a look at the pictures.
Must have been on from a youngster ( stepped on as a fawn ) , Kudo's to your friend for taking her and putting her out of her misery ..... that must have been hurting like hell
God I hate to see that! But hunters are bad right? Haha. Hats off to your buddy for being ethical and taking that animal out if it's misery. Definitely looks like it's been suffering a while.
