Went behind my dad's house opening morning with my Dad for youth season. I had 2 does come into 60 yards and i saw my target doe, we had been seeing her on our trail cam for a while and she looked a bit messed up and we decided to take her out as soon as the opportunity showed itself. I shot her at 62 yards, kinda on film, and she ran maybe 20 yards, bedded down and then rolled over and died. My dad went to get the fourwheeler while i had my buddy Zach come over and help me drag her a bit and check her out. I was not satisfied with what i saw. Super skinny, like ribs almost poking through-skinny, 3 other wound holes all with puss coming out of them, bare ears, and a huge bare spot on her side. I did the right thing and landowner tagged her then took her to 2 different ranger stations in which were no help whatsoever. I tried calling the head ranger of Fulton and Lucas County but no one answered or called me back. I checked her in online and disposed of her properly. She was way too sick and nasty to be eaten, and more than likely loaded with gangrene and other deadly diseases. I definitely put her out of her misery and i believe i did the right thing.
