Yesterday evening I decided to go with my daughter to walked her new dog. While we were in the woods we ran across some deer which is not unusual because we have a lot of deer around the house.
We were very excited to see this buck laying in the woods and try to get closer when we realize something was wrong.
I held her dogs leash while she tried to get a little closer and noticed that the deer was struggling to get up.

My daughter took her dog back to the house as I tried to approach the deer.
As I got closer it look like the deer have gotten stuck under one of the dead trees.
I was able to get right up next to the deer and found that there was something wrong his hind quarters. His hind legs were not moving at all.

It appears as though he must have been hit buy a car and broken his back.
I was shocked that he that far away from the road but it was the only thing that made sense. How else would he have broken his back and it looked like there was impact on his left side hind quarters.

I called my neighbor who is a retired sheriff to come over and put the deer down. It was very unfortunate but we didn't want to see the deer suffer.
We took the deer to a local butcher to salvage and meat that was not damage d from the believed car impact.
I felt this was the right thing to do instead of leaving him there to rot.
