re: Kansas families pet deer shot by Wildlife officials

I'm an avid hunter and fisherman and I eat all sorts of game. I've also rescued numerous injured animals like a baby alligator that had been shot, a hawk that had been hit by a vehicle, squirrels and raccoons. When you take in a wounded or abandoned animal you develop a bond and trust.

I would imagine that just about everyone on this forum has done this sort of thing in one way or another. However, there's a big difference between nursing an injured animal and continuing to treat a wild deer as a pet. It's amazing that the deer wasn't already shot by hunters. Wild animals should eventually be released and encouraged to remain wild (even if they "don't like high winds").
