Disturbing deer injury caught on trail cam. Graphic.

Amazing to see how tough deer can be. Certainly a testament to the creature.

Remember guys. While I understand this wasn't caused by a hunter... Shot placement is key to recovering game as this demonstrates just how much a deer can take.

I am sure he is not long for this world.... but still.

 

[Big-boss-man]

wow that is effed right up.

 

[KePet]

I don’t know that that has anything to do with shot placement. I would think more along the lines of a vehicle strike.

 

[jlovie]

Cripes. Don't have the words for that.

 

[StoneHorse]

I doubt very, very much that was caused by a bullet.

 

[Jmassecar]

I think the shot placement comment was a reminder, not saying this was caused by a bullet or arrow. That's the craziest #### I've ever seen.

 

[DVXDUDE]

I think it had to be a sharp large object at high speed on the road guessing vehicle or trailer just got him? Either way insane that he's walkin

 

[Crowca3]

We would curl up and die... Tough and wanting to survive.. That is ####ed up for sure...

 

[Potashminer]

Yeah, I agree - not long for this world - between infection and predators, will be very lucky to see another sunrise...

Saw it make its rounds earlier this week online, going story is a combine gave him a haircut. Instagram @natureismetal

I long ago determined that every single wild animal is pound for pound far tougher then any human.

Anyways, If that went by me and I had a license I would gladly use it on him and put him out of his misery. A long, slow, painful death is in store for that poor guy.

That poor animal needs to be put out of its misery, license or not.

Lots of stories of deer going through haybines/discbines.

Thing to remember is , he doesn't rationally know he is hurt, no major arteries cut or bleeding, and as long as his schlong organ is intact he is likely thinking does or fighting bucks !

 

[Third Rail]

That is just crazy. Disturbing really.

The first comment was suggesting a piece of farm equipment may have done that - a combine perhanps?

Man....

While I agree, the government, in Ontario at least, does not. Their opinion is that nature will take its course and that we should let that happen.

Is me doing the right thing for that deer worth a big fine, losing my rifle, and a couple years of hunting prohibition?

Indeed. A couple years ago my uncle shot a bull that was missing an antler. It wasnt just broken off, the entire skull cap was broken at the antler and there was a fist sized hole in its head. My uncle called it in on a string, it still had cows on its mind.

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

Wow! That's amazing it's alive.

I put a deer through a discbine several years ago. Made a heck of a mess of the deer. Spilled it's guts all over the place. It didn't even know what hit it.

I would not be surprised if this deer got that injury from a piece of farm equipment. I tend to agree with others that it could have been a combine header. It's the appropriate time to year and a combine header if doing grains would be running at about the right height to take that chunk out of the deer's back. A combine doing beans or even a discbine would be cutting way too low to only take that chunk out.

I once saw a cow moose that was missing a hind leg. She was all healed up and had a calf following her. Pretty impressive what the will to survive will let animals live through.
