nice bucks get smoked by cars and trucks all the time and the meat just wastes! thats not humane.if you shot him to the best of your ability thens its humane.I perfer archery, here we only have one week for shotgun (no rifles) and thats the week alot of people with no skill come out and take sloppy shots and wound animals.since alot of them around here couldn't be bothered to pick up a bow (its to hard) you should see all the deer at the butchers with missing legs. P.S i'm not at all cutting down the gun hunt just some of the dummys that do it.
