I read the Gainsville Sun with amazement that a Alachua County deputy did not know where to shoot a wounded deer to put it out of its misery, and called a Sgt. for approval and directions.Sgt. said, to shoot it behind the shoulder?The deputy then shoots the deer in the stomach SEVENTEEN times before it bleeds down and dies! Granted everyone is not a hunter but the brain is the obvious kill zone.I was about to quit reading the article and wish I would have, but I finished it and seen that the Dept. is going to train deputies how to kill a wounded animal.Here it is ASO! shoot the animal between the eyes, of for the officer in this case that was tramatized (yes the article said he was being offered a victims advocate) dont look it in the eyes and shoot it in the back of the head in the round spot between the ears.If you dont have extra ammo you can use that knife that you clip on your pocket for emergency's to cut its throat or my favorite is a claw hammer on top of the head.
