Should this buck be culled?

[Squirrelhunter91]

I just received these pics from a buddy of mine from his trail cams...

This buck appears to have a broken front right leg. I'm almost positive that the antler growth is messed up due to his injury. Will this buck ever become "normal" again or should he be culled right away?
It still has it's velvet on in these pics. Just about every buck I've seen that is "normal" has been out of velvet since late August.

Any deer that comes in injured should be put down asap..YES shoot that buck!!! NO, I dont think it will ever be much IF it survives this year

YEP....Have to agree with Martin on this one....forget the antlers or anything else this deer is injured and needs to be put down humanely and quick as possible.......Makes some good freezer meat, why let it suffer or let the dogs get him....JMHO...

[dogdoc]

that would be a humane cull in my opinion. I have seen deer with injuries to legs recover but that looks like a pretty tough injury. That young buck looks pretty thin also for this time of year.

Yeah, put the poor guy out of his misery. He's hurtin real bad. His antlers are deformed, because his body is working so hard trying to heal him.
Poor fella

Not even a question in my opinion. I'd try to take him the first chance I get.

Oww! That has got to hurt. I took a doe a couple of years ago that was limping thru the woods...her left front foot was gone. Must have been lost in a fence. She still ate very well. Cull him!

[wtnhunt]

Yep, no question about it. He needs taken out.

[MuZZyMomentZ]

That is most definately a cull buck.

[RyanH]

Yes put him down i believe!

[BIG_BUCK_1]

shoot him and make sure he is down

[Orion_70]

Yep, that deer needs to be harvested. That would be the humane option

[Hillbilly]
