Species Account:
Observed buck laying down near residence. Upon further observation saw buck try to get up multiple times unsuccessfully. Also appeared to be blood on hind end near tail. Contacted IF&G Officer Matt Haag (208-946-0671) for assistance of what to do. Officer Haag recommended, after hearing what I observed, watching it some more and if buck could not still get up before dusk to dispatch it and salvage it. At approximately 3:30pm I approached buck and it tried to get up but couldn't so I dispatched it. Upon further observation after it was dead it looks like a predator had attacked it. There was considerable tissue damage around the anus, damage to the left knee, damaged tissue and broken bone at left front joint above hoof.
