Not sure if this should be in the hunt forum or not, but it does end bad for the deer. Came to work the other morning and we had a buck that fell into a basin. To make a long story short, he was injured, kept running himself into the walls, and was bleeding profusely. Sheriff's dept didn't want to do anything for fear of damage/ricochet/lazy/etc. So we had to put him down. Since I live a few min away I ran to house and grabbed a gun to take care of it.
Anyway, here's a few pics.
One shot from a 45/70 and he took a few steps and all was done. Now the really fun part was lifting a dead 120lb deer vertically 16ft to get him out.
Hated to do something like that, but he was beat up pretty bad and the local DNR agent said there is no deer rehab center near this area.
