There is a deer stuck in the rock breakwall on squaw island. It a bit bloody and can't seem to get up. @libertad called the spca. If anyone else knows who can deal with this. Here is the location.
At this point it just looks like it is going to die a slow death there. The SPCA and DEC Officer have not returned the pages I left them. Did speak to some deer rehab people and they didn't think they would be able to assist in this situation. Poor thing, I guess I wish we didn't go to Squaw Island today.
I wish I had the guts to go and knife it. I'm afraid of deer ticks anyways. This is a very popular spot for fisherman and if nobody does anything it is going to smell so bad.
I called channel 4 and spoke with Luke Smith. I told him that I paged SPCA Wildlife Emergency Line and DEC Officer Wilson and that neither responded. I also let them know that the deer rehabilitation people were unable to assist. He said that he would see what he can do. I explained how it needed to be dealt with in some manner as it would be rotting in a popular fishing spot.
Paul got in contact with SPCA somehow and they promised to send someone out if he went back and saw if it was still there. When Paul went back he couldn't find it. I called channel 4 and told them it was taken care of.
What happened in the end?? Did the deer manage to break free and back into the wilderness? Did the SPCA rescue it? Did the officers end up with lyme disease, or did the deer fall into the creek and drown? This is like a story without a denouement!!
