I'll be the pot stirrer 😁 Shure sounds like a deer may have lived without a dog chasing across the county and drowning. At what point do you cross the ethics line?
every now and then you gotta make an example out of one of them deer. Sick the dogs on them, choke them down with a dog leash, stab em, rub the blood on your face or what have you. That way all the forest critters know what will happen to them if they don't send out a sacrificial buck.
