Oh, that's just wrong!It is a part of nature but still sad. Sometimes people around maine will chase them on snowmobiles or wheelers. They will run until they are completely exhausted and can't go anymore. They will just collapse and not be able to stand
Man, that's horrible that people would chase them with snowmobiles 'til they're exhausted.It is a part of nature but still sad.

Where you said he was graying and not looking well I wonder if it was age or some kind of sickness.
There are a few asses her in MN who will do that to deer for entertainment and I wish someone would do it to them so they could see how it feels.
That wouldn’t be the case here. The tracks would have been visible. We did have an incident where a bunch of teenagers chased a fox on a snow mobile and even got physical with it. It was in all the news reports here as the video ended up on YouTube. It is said that they found out who the kids were, but nothing was done as they were minors.It is a part of nature but still sad.

We have seen bigger ones. In their prime they are huge. When they cross the roads in the mountains, they can stop all traffic. You can always spot the tourists because they will get out of their cars to take pics.
Ooo, you do have quite a bit of snow left!
Oh, all that color looks so good to a winter weary person!!
I’m such a city girl I have no idea. I’ve heard of wildlife officers and park rangers. I looked it up, what a rabbit hole that was. Fish and Wildlife. Their advice:
See that’s the thing. How does one know when they are allowed to humanely shoot? Here, a hunter has to have a permit. Yet I am pretty sure he couldn’t be shot there because it was a conservation area, plus it’s near a town. Too many technicalities if you get caught. Oh, there are worse ways to die, just think about that disgusting dog meat festival I posted about.
Living in Rochester, word was the king of some Middle Eastern country would fly in for care at Mayo – flying on his private 747 with actual golden trim.There are a few asses her in MN who will do that to deer for entertainment and I wish someone would do it to them so they could see how it feels.
Our moose population is quite endangered right now so I do hope they start making a comeback.
The dogs out enjoying some sun a couple days ago.

This was parked at the airport all day. It's hard to tell from the photo but it's huge and dwarf's the Delta jet. The tail was almost twice as tall as the building and you can see how many windows there are. This is a private jet and I can only guess how many $$$$$$$$$ it costs.

We actually have game wardens in maine and when i used to work as a 911 dispatcher we actually had a "deer" call list. When someone reported that they had struck a deer and didn't want it we had a list to call of people that would come take it for the meat. I looooove venison and was honestly tempted many times to try to fit it in the trunk of my camry
the officers who would go to the scene to tag it were usually pretty good about assessing whether or not it was too destroyed to be used for food.
How do they know if its diseased or not?
Either the person who struck it or someone going by would call it in. We would dispatch an officer or deputy. If the deer was still alive and in bad shape the officers actually shoot them in the head to put them out of their misery. There were times where they would take off into the woods, usually the officers were good about going in and looking around to make sure it wasn't just inside the woods suffering.
