    Was a good stalk too (well I thought I was awesome ) she was in a shit of a spot to get to without getting seen . At that stage I didn't realise she was sick . Truth be told I probably could have run up and blown her over with a feather

    Just as well with you using a 270 then ay

    Interesting thread....I have never come across a sick deer myself but have shot a couple that were clearly not going to make next winter due to poor condition/no teeth... even salami wasnt good.

    The old man reconed he shot a few that had TB back in the day over Marlborough way but truth be told they could have had whatever yours had as at the time TB was the big thing (excuse to 1080) in the public eye so anything that didnt look healthy "had TB"

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely

    It would piss you off a bit to shoot a deer then walk all the way over to find it look like this. Bugger!

    Nothing's changed mate...I shot a Sika which turned out to have facial eczema. But DoC field officer I described symptoms to immediately insisted it was TB.

    sickly sweet smell could be associated with urine -in which case one would suspect a major kidney malfunction /shutdown which untreated is rapidly fatal.the wasting etc could as suggested previously arising from this .
    i must offer you thanks for humanely euthanising a distressed animal-more than any fucking vegan would probably do!
