RE: question about my deer i shot at
Anytime you shoot at a deer, you should always look to verify that you hit or missed. ALWAYS look for a bloodtrail or other evidence that you hit the deer. And ethical hunter will always go above and beyond his ability to recover a dead deer or to find or kill a wounded animal.
A guy in our camp wounded a deer last week in the morning of the last day of our hunt, and he spent the whole rest of the day looking for his animal. In fact he was the last guy to come off the mountain and get in the truck.
