Species Account:
Deer was obviously hit by a car sometime during the night. Back legs and hips were severely broken in multiple places. The deer had dragged itself to our back yard at some point. Was alive but unable to stand when we opened our drapes this a.m. We did witness the deer try to drag herself further. We called Idaho Fish and Game and Mr. McDonald came to verify she was beyond help and would most likely die where she was. He then shot her in order to spare her further misery. Mr. McDonald was very kind and professional. We deeply appreciate his help. My husband is a hunter and said he would skin the deer and salvage whatever meat he could. There wasn't much meat salvageable due to the damage to the hindquarters, however, we saved what we could. I cannot say enough about how responsive and professional Mr. McDonald was. He is a treasure.
