Theres an injured deer in my yard...?

Question

Its just sitting in the 'wild' part of my yard.

When i saw it, it was just standing, but it sat down and i noticed that its hindquarters were bloody/scarred

what should i do? its been over half an hour and the deer's still sitting in the same spot.

I dont know whether to help it myself or to call an animal hotline.

please help me...

and any answers regarding killing it are unappreciated.

Answer 1

Try setting it on fire.

Answer 2

You can call the local conservation officer.  They will decide if the animal is to badly injured to be helped or if it needs to be out down.  If it needs to be put down the they usually know families that can use the meat so it is not wasted.  I know that it sounds awful but sometimes it needs to be done.

Answer 3

I would contact your local animal control office.  They should be able to come by and help the deer.

Answer 4

Dude, the deer is suffering and the humane thing to do would be to put it out of its misery. If you call a game warden or the fish and game in your area, that is exactly what they are going to do. Letting it sit there and suffer is way more cruel than shooting it. I know how you feel about the deer, I grew up in Dallas Texas and moved to Arkansas after graduating from school and I understand how you think deer are so cute. If you can't take care of this problem, please find someone that can. Otherwise, coyotes will smell the blood and attack him and eat him. Do you think that slower more savage death would be a better way for the deer to die?

Answer 5

I think you should "help yourself" to the deer.  They make good eating.  This one is still on the hoof so to speak, so it is fresh.

Answer 6

call 999 is the best option. For if you approach it now, you might startle it and make it worse since you have no experience on this what so ever.
