I was 30 yds across the creek from him. Threw about a dozen rocks at him and think I hit him a couple times. Didn't move. I yelled at him numerous times. Didn't move. Thought he was dead Boss came down there and as we were talking he got up and walked out of sight His tongue was sticking out at least a foot. Guessing around 160s from what I could tell when he stood up. Hate to see this. Did he look skinny or emaciated like he had been sick for some time - or in decent shape like it came on fairly quickly?

Plus shooting one without a salvage tag could ruin a hunting/Trapping career and taint your image for your life.
You get labeled a poacher especially when nice buck is involved , no matter the situation, it will ruin your integrity.

Sheriff said if we find him he'd send deputy out or if he was obviously without doubt sick shoot then he'd send deputy out. Got a rifle now.

I just let let nature take it's coarse when I see animals like that. That's just what happens all day long in the wild. Mother nature doing it's thing. Other animals rely on it's antlers and other parts to survive. A cripple animal is what many mothers use to train their young. It's not cruel to leave it, it's natural.
