I'm with Art. In the first sentence of the OP, we are told the animal is the town pet. Not just any urbanized deer eating the shutters off every house in the town. We are not told is is a pest, or diseased or a threat to small children(altho I am surprised this wasn't brought up by someone to legitimatize shooting it). This scenario has nuttin' to do with hunting or the ethics of fair or unfair chase. It has to do with the ethics of shooting the town pet......by someone well off enough financially, they do not really need the meat. I'm thinkin' shooting this animal knowingly, would make one's mama, their wife, and their children real proud. Maybe even help you hang the deer up in the front yard or make sure everyone in town sees it in the back of the truck at the local watering hole. Whatta you think?
