Title: Wounded segal end it or leave it
Post by: ducklab on October 17, 2011, 07:14:14 PM
So I was in my normal spot when I saw something odd flapping around by a log. I looked closer and it was a wounded segal. Some Idiot had probably shot it thinking it was a snow. Now the question I have is should I have taken it out of its misery or left it. I decided to leave it but if that situation hapened again whats your opinion.

Kill it... It's the only thing to do in that situation.

I take it out if its misery and will suffer the consequences.    My karma is better for it.

Shoot it. It will die soon. Keep it from suffering. Saw a Yote that was 1/2 dead several years ago while pheasant hunting. Put it out of it's misery. Never fun but you got to do it. Just remember the Gamies may hold YOU responsible for killing it.

Cant' kill segals ( seagulls ) from what I know. Aren't they protected ? It would only take 1 greenie seeing it.

I would leave it, just cause the always annoy the hell out of me. The need to come off the no shoot list, there are more of them than pheasant.

I wouldnt shoot it for damn sure, not worth potentially losing my hunting rights.  Now if it was injured badly enough for me to catch it i'd break its neck  discretely. I know its still killing it but there would be less question if you ended it via hand then it would be via firearm if it came it down to it.

Saw one just passed I-5 in marysville towards the bay. had a hook in its mouth and the line was snagged around the log. Same one?

 I wouldnt risk it one bit. There is enough eagles in whidbey, sooner or later that seagull would attract one of them.  :chuckle:

LEAVE IT!!!  Mercy or not, it will cost you if you put it down and get seen doing it.

a wounded segal is hard to kill.

I would leave it! I thought I was doing the right thing by putting one out of it's misery and payed a fine for it.  :twocents:

I thought you were talking about Steven Segal.  Although goofy, he's probably dangerous even if he is wounded.  I guess I'd just call an ambulance.

funny, about a week ago, a guy caught one fishing the Stilly. He drug it all the way in to have the line snap at the leader.

Leave it, or you could get a heafty fine,,,Sad to have to say that, because im sure theres nothing but suffering, but unless theres a warden, bioligest,and some PETA member present, it can be saved. on our dime of course...  :bash: :bash: :bash:

Oh a sea-gull?  I also thought he meant Steven Segal. :chuckle:  I didn't even think of the Sea-Gals! :drool:  Mr. sea-gull would need to be put down quickly and quietly.  The only humane thing to do.

Put it out of its misery. Any LE official that would bust you for that would get a tongue lashing from a judge.
