A group of snowmobilers in central Wisconsin herded and killed four deer and severely injured a fifth in what a warden called a senseless act of cruelty on Monday.
No arrests have been made in the Saturday morning incident about five miles south of Waupaca..."They did purposely run over these deer. The tracks in the snow were in a circular manner, almost looking like they were chasing the deer back to other snowmobile partners"...Dremel believes three or four snowmobiles were involved in a roundup of deer in a moonlit alfalfa field where 30 to 40 animals were known to feed. Witnesses reported hearing snowmobiles in the area about 3:30 a.m., he said.
Three deer were found dead in the field. A snowmobile stopped atop one and ripped open its stomach, Dremel said. A fourth deer with broken legs was euthanized.
The fifth deer was dragged from the field and tied to a tree about 25 feet from a road. Investigators think someone may have planned to return for that deer, Dremel said.
"It looked like the deer wrapped itself around the tree and choked itself to death," he said.

One of the snowmobile drivers was heard to yell "That's for JASON!"

Has anyone heard from Angry? I know he has a cabin in Wisconsin. I hope he's OK.

That makes me so angry, dear.
That's awful. Now, if it had been geese...
rumor has it that the deer were sexually harrassing the snowmobilers who herded and ran them down only in self defense.
There're too many deer anyways.
PETA will have a field day when they catch wind.
Stupid snowmobiles!
That's terrible. Where are people's brains when they decide to do something like this? I don't care what kind of animal it is, but I really dislike it when people choose to purposely hurt animals like this. I know hunters kill animals, but they do it to eat them, not just to hurt them.
no, lotsa trophy hunters kill animals just for the thrill of killing them. and to mount parts of them on their walls. i personally kill animals because the state frowns on me killing idiots.

But they don't usually do it with a snow mobile.
They are advertising snowmobile rentals at the bottom of my page. heh.
jg2, when you say bottom my mind goes one place.
I get the feeling they were drunk since it was 3:30 am

No, they usually use airplanes and helicopters.
I honestly can't laugh or joke about this. It's just sick and wrong. What the hell is wrong with people?

and it is tough getting down low enough to clip those bad boys with the propellers.

I only hope that the surviving deer don't team up with Canadian Geese and start bringing down planes in retribution.
how can you make jokes at a time like this, joe? those deer were senselessly slaughtered! would you be making jokes if gay men were herded and run over by snowmobilers? i think not.
Are the Palins branching out from chasing down moose in snowmobiles?

Mr. papalovesmambo, you are one of the few humans on this board worth saving. I'll just say, when we take over, YOUR death will be quick and painless.
y'know, i am willing to help kill some of these heathens before you put me out to pasture. just sayin'.
"Angry Goose" was the first thing that popped into my head the second I saw the story on the news.
Glad to see someone else beat me to it... if I tried that, it would be an epic failure.
