Remember that we are a volunteer organization. Every dolor you give is used directly for the care, housing and medical treatment of the animals. We have no paid employees and your contribution is tax deductible. The animal rights folks argue that most hunters are unfeeling towards the suffering of the animals, especially those hunters who wound and don t track the animal, causing the deer to die a horrific, painful death. To most deer hunters, however, the aforementioned type of hunter is the exception rather than the rule.
Most avid hunters consider opening day of deer season almost as a holy day of obligation .
In other words, nothing can possibly supersede being in that tree stand on the first day of buck season. And that is exactly where Shawn Ostrowsky of Tunkhannock and his son were on opening day this year. Shortly after daybreak, Shawn noticed an injured red tailed hawk on the ground near his tree stand. Compelled to do the right thing, Shawn gave up his dream of a trophy buck for that day and rescued the bird. As he headed out of the woods, just 100 yards from where the first red tail was found, he encountered another one, also with a wounded wing.
