never really thought about it in those terms before... i guess to me if i do not want to kill that animal that is when i shoot it with a cammera..... as for shooting an animal with a trank........ most hunters are not vet's so how would it be possible to tell if the deer you just loaded up with dope is stable?

what you have suggested is not a bad idea per say.......in my opinion though it just would not be practical..........hence the use of a cammera.......just my 2 cent's
