Neighbors mourn deer killed in yard
By Donna Hobscheid, Leader Reporter
On Sunday, Oct. 26, Janet Hiebing had been watching a deer, who she called Buckwheat, out her window. The animal roamed the neighborhood by Lulu Lake and became a pet of sorts.
She turned to grab her camera and when she turned back, she saw a stranger with a gun aimed at the small deer.
“I pounded on the window. He looked at me and continued to move toward the deer. Buckwheat never moved,” Hiebing wrote in a tribute to Buckwheat she sent to the Leader. “By the time I got outside, he shot her.”
Hiebing said she yelled at the man who told her it was his job as he put the deer in his truck and drove away.
“I went to look out the sunroom (window) — a big mess of blood by our bird feeder and another mess by a tree just off the corner of the garage and a trail of blood on the gravel driveway along the garage — that he left for us to clean up,” Hiebing wrote.
The person who shot the deer was DNR conservation warden Mark Schraufnagel, according to his supervisor, Robert Goerlinger, who talked to Hiebing after the incident.
Schraufnagel was responding to a complaint of a deer that was wearing a tight dog collar and was painted orange, Goerlinger said in a written response to questions e-mailed from the Leader.
“It is our policy to immediately deal with escaped deer or deer that have been in some form of captivity (in this case collared) due to disease concerns and potential risks to human safety,” said Goerlinger, who is based in the DNR’s Peshtigo office. “This particular deer we did not know the origin of or history of, but a recent report indicates someone nearly got seriously hurt by this deer. Historically wild animals that are treated as pets can eventually pose significant safety risks.”

I like this next comment!

Hiebing called the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department about the incident and said she was told a warden can come into a homeowner’s yard and shoot an animal that was being kept as a pet. Goerlinger confirmed this.

Yep, your right the DNR can do anything they want when ever or where ever they want. Are they a part of the POLICE state?

Hiebing said she had not captured Buckwheat. She has volunteered at a nature center and says she has always respected wild deer.
“She was free to wander the neighborhood as she pleased,” Hiebing said.
State law allows for feeding in small amounts — 2 gallons or less — and the incident did not involve a feeding violation, Goerlinger said. He added, however, that providing food for wildlife can make them dependent on humans.
“Handing food to wildlife puts them on welfare, so to speak,” Goerlinger said.
Goerlinger met with Hiebing to better visualize and assess the incident. She said Schraufnagel had been rude to her and didn’t identify himself. Goerlinger said Schraufnagel didn’t break any work rules, but agreed the situation could have been handled better.
Hiebing said she appreciated Goerlinger coming to meet with her.
Other options to deal with the animal — such as dart guns or nets — do not always work safely, Goerlinger said.
“The bottom line in this particular instance is nobody got hurt and the unknown risk to the deer herd was minimized,” Goerlinger said.
Schraufnagel said it was a difficult situation for all involved.
“It’s not something we are really excited to have to deal with, but we have a job to do,” Schraufnagel said.
He also reminded area residents that especially in spring time when fawns and other young animals are around to leave them alone.
“The doe is usually somewhere in the vicinity, but you can’t see her, but we need to let nature take its course,” Schraufnagel said.

Bottom line , what people say is true,
the WDNR has the freedom to do anything,
to anybody,
at any time.
