Passingbye, I don't know the game laws in NC, but if that juvenile deer was LEGALLY harvested, he was within his rights to do so. If not, it would be up to your Fish and Game authorities to take the appropriate actions. In my state, we have a dedicated phone line to report poaching, and some people use it. I agree this was a sad event, but there are those who think that C&R fishing is cruelly tormenting living creatures, and human consumption of animals is pure evil. They're not our type of people, but they are entitled to their opinions and are free to abstain.
We are also free to engage in other legally sanctioned hunting and fishing activities. We do not require approval from those folks who don't think our actions are correct. Just thinkin' about the bigger picture.

May have sentenced that doe to death, mother smells people, and often times abandons offspring
