Down by me the County Sheriffs will come out and dispatch it for you with proper documentation. Then they will even let you keep the deer if you wanted it for hide/meat or whatever.
Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it. Called Vilas County Sheriff. One of their guys came out, nice guy. Since the deer could get up and "run" he said it would actually be fine and no need to shoot it. He said the leg will eventually fall off and that the deer would be ok. I had no idea... learned something.

Sure.
The leg falls off and then it will grow a new one eventually... Just like antlers.
You can hunt coyote year round (except in northern WI during gun deer season) with a Small Game license. No daily limits on coyotes.Ya that's about what the deputy said. Coyotes are essentially considered vermin in AZ(where I moved from), can you shoot them here? I have small kids who play in the yard so I'd rather not have wolves and coyotes back there hanging around. I've never seen tracks in the yard, but I know they are in the area.
Thanks.
Where can I acquire this feature?
Having hunted deer for 62 consecutive years let me assure you the deputy is correct. More than likely the deer was wounded during hunting season. The fact it survived this long during this Winter indicates it surely is finding enough food and able to fend off coyotes, wolves may be a different matter if they single him out as not being physically fit. The blood supply to the wounded area will stop, the skin and muscle area will dry up and the lower leg will fall off. The skin will then heal over the bone and barring unforseen problems the deer will survive. Of course that isn't as dramatic as some would like it to be.
In fact it was 100% accurate as well as informative.
