Deer meat tastes good.

I never much liked deer meat, cept the loin and ribs. I do mix deer hamburger about 50/50.

Myself, why some would consider that heroic, I think it was stupid risking your life and helo to save a deer.

I learned this when I took a large animal rescue class. Wild animals have been getting stuck on ice since they have been roaming the Earth and will continue to do so. We really shouldn't rescue the animal, let things happen naturally, even if it is brutal. So why do it? Because if someone who can do it safely doesn't, then some well meaning, yet misguided person or group will do it and get themselves into trouble.Thus lives will have to be risked to get some idiot out of trouble.

For the most part I agree, certainly with deer. Like Eastwood said,
"Buzzards got to eat same as worms"

Anyway, I see his act as risky and stupid to risk all that over a deer. If he would've wrecked and died I'm certain his family would've felt the same.
