Remember that terrorizing deer that killed a dog in Orinda? Breathe safe, ladies -- he's been rubbed out -- with one shot. The trapper making the town safe again works for the US Dept. of Agriculture and had a license to shoot to kill from the California Fish and Game Department, got him last night around 7:30.
This was the trapper's fifth visit to the area since the end of last month, and he'd seen a lot of deer -- but he knew he'd gotten the right one because this one had wounds consistent with a dog fight. The deer carcass was donated to the Walnut Creek Lindsay Wildlife Museum, and will be fed to the coyote and bobcat that live there. "Instead of just throwing the deer away, we decided it would be nice to donate the meat," said a spokesman from Fish and Game.
