Neighbors of Little Sugar Creek Greenway in Charlotte are horrified and incensed after spotting wandering deer with arrows shot through their heads.

“I occasionally hunt and this disgusts me,” a resident of the Preston Flats community posted.

“Hunt the (expletive) down who did this,” a man from the Olde Providence North community said on the site.

Residents have seen a doe and a fawn with arrows through their heads and posted photos of the deer on NextDoor.

“The arrows being used are not even true hunting arrows, just practice arrows,” Huntingtowne Farms resident Stephanie Kraska told The Charlotte Observer in an email.

The two deer appear to be surviving the trauma, according to posts on NextDoor.

But a “Mama with two fawns who has a short black arrow going in one side of her head and coming out the other can’t put her tongue back in her mouth,” Kraska said.

It’s illegal

Charlotte city code bans shooting with a bow and arrow “except in a licensed shooting gallery or range or by permission of the city council.”
