ken75:
this mornin my wife woke me and said someone was in the driveway blowin the horn . i throw my rob on and go out , one of the florida hunters in my area is out there and he tells me theres a doe hit just up the road if i want it and she is still alive. i asked him why he didnt get her ,he said i got one yesterday and dont need anymore meat.
 well i went back inside and told my wife what he said , and it dawned on me that he didnt put her down. couldnt stand the thought of a wounded animal so i went up the road expecting to find a dead deer. when i got there she had her head up looking around but her back was broke and she couldnt get up. so i ended it and put her in the freezer.
 this is not a dig on florida hunters ,this guy just happened to be from there. i couldnt belive that he drove by her twice and didnt do anything to end her suffering. just goes to show ya it takes all kinds to make this green thing spin.

Cacatch:
Well, on the bright side Ken, she probably wasn't hurting at all since her back was broke, she probably was numb, just scared of what was coming next. I know where you're coming from, but perhaps the guy was trying to make sure somebody got fresh meat, instead of offering them to go collect road kill. If it's still alive I guess it technically ain't road kill since you're the one that kills it. It doesn't sound like a good deal for the deer - I agree. But at least it was alive until it went fresh into your freezer. Had he killed it, and then went looking for someone that might have wanted it, by the time he found someone the meat might have already been spoiled. Just a thought. But I agree, for the deer's sake it would've been better sooner than later. Although I've come to believe that animals are a lot braver than humans in the face of pain and death.

sailordad:
ya im thinking the same way as cacatch
he probably didnt want to offer up road kill so as to speak
let whom ever wants it put it down and its fresher  ;)
gotta ask though,how much meat was damaged from the vehicle that hit her?
one would tend to think a lot of the meat in the area the impact was would be blood shot
just curious

mullet:
 I have to agree with sailordad and cacatch. It is a lot easier to talk someone into going after a live one than road kill.

Kegan:
I'm another in agreement here. But to add to it: here in PA, you'd get fined for killing a deer on the road like that, wounded or not :(
