| What is wrong with her? It looks like something hanging down all along her underside. What is it?

| Well archery starts soon-we can kind of keep an eye on her and if she starts to suffer we'll tag her. Unfortunately SERM doesn't view acts of mercy as legal-not losing my hunting rights and guns over a deer-I guess Ty can bring out one of his buddies who are treaty to take care of it.

I would just do it without asking but I know others who have called fish and game about wounded wildlife and they just told them to shoot it. Like if its close to town F&G will come out to help you hunt for it. But they wont make you tag it even if its during the season.
I cant see it being much different in SK. If its suffering its only humane to put it down. I would just contact them before you do it.
Like your not going to eat that animal and its not like it has horns. So the only reason to shoot it is to just put it out of its missery. Surely Fish & Game in SK wouldnt want to let it suffer?

Our vet has a series of pictures similar to this one, the deer had a huge abcess. It was on a "deer ranch" that he works for alot, they called, darted the deer, and he drained the abcess and gave it antibiotics, made it just fine after that.
The series of pictures is the deer how it looked standing before they darted her. Then the abcess up close. and then draining it. Kinda yucky, but it was interestin.

| Roper Ab don't ever make the mistake of assuming there is any common sense in the SERM dept. in Saskatchewan. Way too many cases of guys doing the right thing and ending up in a jackpot over it. Ty found a dead buck a few years back and we took it in to get a possession permit-well it was a nice deer so they were going to seize it. We had a little discussion and I told him he'd be seizing horn chips because I'd chop it up before I'd let them rip off my eight year old boy. Like I said I feel sorry for the deer but I'm not going to risk a bunch of crap helping her out. Her fawn is still spotted so the longer she hangs on the better it is for it.

The fawn complicates it because even if you wait until bow season if you shot the mother I doubt if the fawn will survive. It might survive.
The longer its with its mother the better though.
You see I dont think they could dart the mother and give it antibiotics either because that fawn is still nurseing. Well maybe they could? Im not sure?
I do know that I have seen whitetails nurseing even in the second week of November!

| why wouldn't they be able to give antibiotics to the mother, and the fawn keep nursing? It happens with cows all the time.

| Well to start with she's a wild deer-not exactly easy to medicate-mother nature is a pretty cruel taskmaster at times-that pic wasn't taken on my property even-it would get pretty sticky wandering aroun d on the neighbors with a rifle out of season. We'll keep an eye out for her and see how she's doing-Ty has a trail cam set up about 50 yards from where that pic was taken-two monster bucks are roaming around there-he wants to stick an arrow in lol.
