I think a person could be mistaken and better recover the deer before they shoot another. If the hunter heard it crash, and its certainly dead, than it shouldnt take that person very long to go and recover it before climbing back into the treestand.

Hearing a deer crash, and seeing it laying dead before you are two totally different things. I honestly dont see the need to shoot two deer in one stand sitting, but as I said before, if its legal, and you recover both deer, its fine by me.

If killing two deer hinders a persons chances at recovering either deer, than perhaps they shouldnt be shooting two in one sitting. Its the less ethical thing to do.

Maybe you do show hunting in a positive light, and I understand it must be difficult to please everyone. I dont know you well enought to judge, but this time, I think you under-emphasized the importance of a thorough tracking and recovery job. In my eyes thats wrong, and its one of the main reasons anti-and non-hunters look down on bowhunting. Make every effort to recover each and EVERY animal you shoot and they will have less to hoot and hollar about. But shoot one, track it for a bit, and then attempt to shoot another, and we certainly give them something to hoot and hollar about.

Just remember to make it clear, that the recovery of every animal is more important than how many you shoot or how big.
