I've had similar experience with deer getting caught in fences and these wounded animals need to be approached very carefully.... i don't think people realize how sharp the hooves really are on a young deer..... You can get yourself hurt really bad if you are not careful. people have been killed having them jump in the cab of a moving truck window....or getting all excited and running up to a down animal and grabbing it by the horns before checking to make sure its dead.
i personally did a real stupid thing and roped a yearling mule deer buck like you would a calf one time. It was a pretty tame buck that hung around a hunting cabin were were staying at.
They had a 55 gallon drum with a saddle on it and a rope. and they also had a set of bull horns mounted on a log so you could practice lassoing the horns....
Well i was setting up there in the saddle throwing the rope when "Bucky" came into range. I said "Hey Lee, Watch this!" and i dabbed a loop on the deers horns......OH MY GOD!
That deer hit the afterburners and jerked me out of the saddle so hard i didn't hit the ground for 10 feet, and proceeded to drag my sorry ass through the sage brush at what seemed like 30 mph for a good 50 yards before i got hung up and wrapped that rope around a tree.
Of course my hunting buddy was laughing his arse off the whole time.... But the scary part was getting the rope off that deers antlers without killing ourselves. by the time we got it done we looked like we'd been in a fight with a wild cat.
bull dogging a 150 pound mule deer is tougher than you'd think. Poor Lee got kicked so bad i thought we we going to end up at the doctors office.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread here bro... but i had to tell that story.... Seeing the angle of that photo... brutha... you don't ever want to approach a wounded deer from the belly side.
