Not to steal this thread, but now for the rest of the story! The deer was still alive, had been hamstrung, the flesh had been torn from it's exposed side, revealing it's ribcage!

My dad told my brother to put the deer out of it's misery with the shotgun, which he did. A memorable shot indeed! Then we went back to the house and he called the Local Game Warden, who came out and collected up the dogs and the deer.
