Morning all ,
On my way home the other day from a night out lamping I bumped into a fallow Buck on the road , he didn't look too good and I noticed his front right leg was flopping around like it was broken. I sat watching him for about 20 mins as he was trying to find away over hedge but there is a big drop the other side hedge and would more than likely end up going over like a sack of s***.
So I got out the truck in the rain and was walking him up the road to try get him in the hedge on the right as there is slot of runs where they come through. After about ten mins I got him through a run and he hobbled off.
I spoke to a friend and he said I should of got my .243 out truck and dispatched him as his leg was a right mess. Would this been the thing to do ?
It's a back road in middle of no where and about 1/2 mile from farm I shoot . https://vimeo.com/163132809
I will try and find him when home next as can't see him going far .
