Let me start by saying I have hunted.
I don't hunt anymore due to various reasons, but I support hunting and have participated.
But....
yesterday, I was driving on a back road around Knox when I saw a small doe standing on the side of the road.
I slowed down to make sure she didn't spook and run into me.
She started to run and I noticed she had a massive gunshot wound just below her right front shoulder.
The leg was just hanging on, like the upper leg was shattered.
When she walked, it just swung there.
There is no way she was going to survive and she was obviously, in alot of pain.
Someone had shot her, not killed her, and let her get away wounded.
Right or wrong, legal or not, I took my concealed carry and tracked her down and put her out of her misery.
It was the right thing to do.
Hunters, please, make sure of your shots and when you shoot, track them down to make sure they are down.
I understand that it is possible to lose your deer after shooting, but seeing this lady just made me sad, and mad.
This poor girl suffered. She shouldn't have.
Rant over.
