I didn't know where else to post this so here goes. Deer were munching on my landscaping last winter so I took to getting out my air rifle and popping them in the ass when seen in daylight hours. They would kick and then run maybe 100 ft and stop, it was kind of funny. Then I hit a large doe square in the rib cage and it dropped to the ground like it was my .30-06. It could never stand up and after about 3 hours I had to put it out of its misery with a ball bat. I'm baffled as to how a .177 pellet at about 50 feet could paralyze the hindquarters of a big, mature doe. Was it nerve damage?
Nerve damage from hitting it “square in the rib cage”?
You probably slipped the pellet between the ribs into the lungs. It felt sick from the lung(s) bleeding.
I’d put the pellet gun away. Try a slingshot and use hard candies.
Oh .... This one has potential!

What did the local game official have to say about this?
How many swings with the baseball bat?
Why would you shoot a deer with a pellet gun? Have someone shoot you in the ribs with a pellet gun and see how it feels.

really can't believe how stupid so many people are.
Oh .... This one has potential!
Has potential my ass. The "OP" is a f u c k i n g idiot PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It over penetrated... Red Ryder for da win!

Sometimes I wish there was a way to send a power surge to an IP address.
I don’t think I would have posted that question on here.
It's bad enough about the air rifle, but I'm still trying to figure out the whole baseball bat thing. Why not just shoot it in the head with a real gun?
Rule #1 - Never shoot at something that you don't want to kill.
Rule #2 - If you do something really stupid and ILLEGAL, never admit it on the internet. (SSS)
I don’t think I would have posted that question on here.

Baseball Bat??? WTF!
Good thing you didn't put it's eye out with that thing
This has got to be a joke

No kidding! If not a firearm, why not a knife? And why wait three hours to bash her skull in? Aside from ethics or legality, some of that sounds, essentially, INSANE.

This belongs in the Optics Forum.
I hope to he!! this is not true. I hope you do not own any other firearms and the pellet gun should be taken away from you.
I can't wish you a great day.

Someone failed safe firearms handling 101. Don't shoot at something that you do not intend to kill. Let alone "shooting deer in the ass" and thinking it's kind of funny. Contrary to popular belief, deer are not bulletproof and it's likely you slipped a pellet between the slats and made her suffer for 3 hours before bludgeoning her to death with a baseball bat. I wish I knew your address. I'm sure NC has a TIPS line... Please give your guns to someone who knows how to properly use them without torturing animals and then being stupid enough to post about it on the internet.
WTF man ?
Are you the next serial killer we will be reading about ?
They say that they start out killing animals in cruel and unusual ways.
This post is F….d up. My 17yr old had a deer run into the side of his car last week and I got the “Dad come help me” call. Luckily it was on a neighbors lawn and I called ahead. Took the .17 and put it down for mercys sake. Bothered me for 3 days. I’ve killed plenty of deer but this kinda stuff ain’t my bag and this bird bashes the deers head in with a bat?? WTF
Was is a hickory Louisville slugger or an aluminum bat?
OP, please stop posting. You are making people from NC look bad.
Spoiler alert....none of this happened.
The dumbass runs deep with this one. You’re an idiot.
I’d tell you to unfûck yourself, but that door closed when you were born.

I killed a deer with a pulaski after its back was broke when hit by a car. It was not one of my prouder moments....
I chopped one to death with a rigging axe. Does that count?...
LOL…gotta be the troll of the day.
Had a deer hit by a car on the main road in view from my house one night. The car that hit it kept going, but three ‘Samaritans’ stopped IN the road. Looked like a problem, so I called my GW bud on his cell and went down there. Deer was wrecked in the head and hind end, staggering around blind in the road. GW tells me to put it down if it’s too messed up, as he’s across the county. Deer is definitely too messed up and under serious duress. I pull it to the ditch three different times. Convinced the guy that’s called the sheriff (for no reason) that GW has told me to handle it. Spend 10minutes trying to explain to tree hugger lady ‘why’ it can’t be ‘saved’ and ‘rehabilitated’, and has to be euthanized before it gets back in the road and kills someone. Finally tell her to take her crying, drama queen ass and leave. In the meantime, deer crawls into the cut corn in front of my house. I go home, get the 22, go and put the deer down. Guess who has circled back to the intersection to witness the ‘murder’? Yep, it’s Karen. She’s screaming obscenities at me that I haven’t heard since airborne school….at least until I point the 3k lumen spotlight in her face until she drives away. Sheriffs deputy shows up. He’s probably still laughing.
Paint ball gun works for deer and geese
I had to put a dog down with a 2x4 one time, have carried at least a single shot 20 gauge ever since..
it's not about energy. It's about putting said pill in the vitals..
We had a neighbor when moose come into his yard he come running out of house with his pellet/bb gun pumping that sob for all it was worth and shoot at the moose to get them out of his yard. I finally told him what he was doing was against the law its harassment and if the troopers ever caught wind of him doing it be a bad day for him. State of Alaska could give two chits if the moose are eating your prized plants, cant be zinging them in the ass with pellets or bb's. He sold the house and they moved back to Anchorage.

They didn't move because of me, he was actually a pretty good neighbor. He was always up something like shooting moose in the ass with his powerline 880. They got tired of the commute from the valley to Anchorage.

I guess there is not much to do there? I'd probably get bored as hell and shoot a moose in the azz too...

I believe this is a made up story but even if it's not, it's just a deer. Farmers intentionally gut shoot them all the time so that they'll run back into the woods to die and not die in their fields. Have known several here who did this routinely. Carry a rifle on their tractor all the time and gut shoot every deer they see year round. Had one ask me to please do the same to any deer I saw on his property while I was out hunting. He considered them vermin of the worst sort and had no sympathy.
I believe this is a made up story but even if it's not, it's just a deer.
Yeah, well, perhaps some of us hold them in a little higher regard and aren't at war with them.
Lotta guys have told me they planned on keeping deer out of their yard with a pellet gun.
Gotta explain why that's a horrible idea for 40 reasons. They nod, but their jaw goes slack...

You lack empathy. Instead of pulling it to the ditch 3 times, you should have helped Karen place the deer in her back seat. ...grin...

You might feel differently if they were destroying your crops, trees, bushes etc.. Personally it makes me sick to think of anyone intentionally inflicting suffering on any animal. I've had various pests destroying my fruit trees, gardens and bushes here but always dispatch them as quickly and humanely as possible. To me it makes no difference whether it's a woodchuck, raccoon, rabbit, coyote, hog or deer but many don't feel the same and look at some as more or less deserving of humane treatment than others.
I fuuucked up years ago, was gonna scare wifeys cat by shooting under it with a pellet gun. Well, I hit the damn cat, gut shot the bastard. I didn’t have money to take it to the vet, so I killed it, buried it, lied when she ask if I’d done away with her cat. I still feel like schit to this day almost 40 years later. That was so stupid.

Had hunting rights on 800 acres in a river bottom. When you went to your stand, you never had to ask, "Will I see a deer?" The question was, "Will I see something I want to shoot?"
I was working for the landowner doing plowing and other chores. He would occasionally pay me cash. When he did, I would refuse the cash and just say, "Keep it for letting me hunt."
One day I asked him, "Do you realize how much money you could make selling day hunts?"
His reply to me was, "The only thing I hate worse than deer, is deer hunters!"
At that point, I just shut up and hunted!
Took out a dink with a *dink* (aluminum bat sound) ?

Buddy killed his with the milk/drano solution. He was having problems with strays fighting his cat and put some out and told the wifey not to let the cat out of the house. We'll, out of habit she did. Guess she forgot. So I guess it was both of their faults...
The story sounds about right for just about every urban dwelling person I've ever met.
