Inherent dangers of keeping a friggin’ deer as a pet.
This nation needs an enema ... Regulatory Decapture now!
Typical of a pretty fair % of Game Wardens. They fancy themselves Storm Troopers. If they ever got in a real jam they’d wet their panties. IMHO.
Our masters are ever so much more tolerant now.

Wow! Just like the “Yearling.” Except dad didn’t do the killing.
My girlfriend worked for a woman who was feeding the deer. She over fed them so much that she killed 20 of them, that we know of. Wealthy woman. Nothing happened to her.
Taming a 150 lb wild animal and bringing it into the neighborhood? Whats next.... a bear?
“Our officers on the scene felt (shooting the deer) was about their only option.”
They were just being patronizing and “teaching this family a lesson”. Don’t you just love big brother? We have mule deer that hang around our yard and eat our shrubs, but they are so cute that we do not chase them away. These are urban welfare deer that lots of people put treats out for and will come up and eat out of your hand. Last year a poacher illegally killed a big buck that was well known in the neighborhood with an arrow. The poacher wounded him and he was found dead in the bushes a couple weeks later, which aided in prosecuting the guy.
My wife came home with squirrel that had been run over and was paralyzed. I told her to call the wilderness vet. She did and was told that she was illegally harboring a squirrel and that she needed to bring it in immediately so they could put it down. We kept it inside for a few months while it recovered. We called it Princess Meany Pants because it was very vocal and never was happy about receiving our assistance. Think Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump.
Eventually it was able to walk again, although it never regained the use of its tail which made it easy to differentiate from the other squirrels. We let it go in our yard in the early fall. Most of the time it stayed in a tall fir tree next to our back porch waiting for handouts and making a racket. It stayed with us for a couple years after that. I assumed that the neighbors cat or a coyote got it when she disappeared.
“He told me as long as the deer was not confined, and wasn’t kept in any kind of enclosure, I was fine. Legal,” she said, adding that she doesn’t remember the game warden’s name.
She said the deer was never confined, and that it regularly showed up at a neighbor’s place 2 1/2 miles away. The deer also had dozens of chances to move off with a number of wild deer that inhabit that area.
I have absolutely no problem with a rural Kansas family such as this who live on a farm with horses 12 1/2 miles out in the country and their nearest neighbor being 2 1/2 miles away with having a free ranging female mule deer as a pet.......
Her only mistake was posting the missing deer on her Facebook page where some know-it-all butt-in-ski saw it and reported her to their DNR......
I wonder if you can turn the game warden in for hunting out of season or shooting a deer with out hunting tags.
Need his name
So much for “catch and release”.
I think this is because of officials fear the spread of wasting disease in local native deer populations.
Our tax dollars paying for these Rambos. And it took that many of them?
I agree with this comment below the article:
“This is more than just the killing of the family pet deer.It’s a absolute violation of the constitution. They can’t issue a summons for a crime and then carry out a sentence a few hours later with no due process. I would hope this family pursues a civil lawsuit.”

Besides, the deer was free to go at any time it wanted.
My granddaughter goes to a “nature school”. It is a pre school where they spend as much time outside as possible.
One of the things they do every day is take a “goat walk”. They have a field with numerous goats and the children all walk the perimeter with the goats. A deer was born in that field, and has grown up with the goats. It now walks with the goats and the children.
It is free to go at any time. Its mother comes and goes as she pleases. I guess he just thinks he’s a goat.

I hope somebody had the sense to put the Game Warden out of his misery.

Who do YOU think?
