Carson Buck shot by NDOW

Post by NVhunter » Mon Jun 13, 2011 1:48 pm

So the story behind this buck is that he got in a fight with a smaller buck (the buck that is in the picture with him) and the smaller bucks horns went through the Carson Bucks horns and stabbed him. A Game Warden that was watching this thought that the Carson buck was mortally wounded so he shot him thinking that some body was going to poach him because he was living so close to some houses outside of Carson City, Nevada. I talked to the Warden that shot the deer at the RMEF here in Reno so I know this is not a rumor that the Warden shot him. Do you think that is right that the Warden shot him? His green score is 236 and he is 33 1/2" wide. Let me know what you think

WOW!! What a pretty buck. I answered not sure, I'd need more info before I can really answer.

How did he know the buck was mortally wounded? Couldn't get up, move, etc??

I'm not against it if it really was mortally wounded and died I suppose.

based soley on what was stated I say no way

So he lived close to people, he could be poached at given time regardless of being wounded or not, the possibilty of being poached has nothing to do with the warden reason for shooting him. The warden should of let mother nature take its course.

Let me ask you this, if it was a small buck that was wounded I bet you he would not of bothered to kill it.

From the info given I do not think they should have shot it.

I voted not sure. If the buck was clearly mortally wounded and was going to suffer then I have no problem with him humanely putting the deer down. However, that's a pretty tough call to make. Animals can sometime be very resilient. I'm not sure the whole poaching thing plays into very well. If he feared it would be poached then get the word out that the buck is being watched closely. Killing it to avoid it being killed seems a little odd to me.

i think the DOW wardens do this all too often with animals. If we were there instead what right would I have, or if I had hit one with my car? I would not be allowed to shoot it even if it would most certianly die. Instead I would be cited for driving too fast where animals are present. Mother nature should be the determiner of their fate.

Not enough for me to base an opinion on. Such is the media these days. Rather than report the news they all need to put some kind of spin on it. Post the officer's report on the situation rather than a few spoken words.
