RE: wounded deer
On the other end of the spectrum....
Last week, I stopped in at "The Angler" to get a Vexilar. 2 guys had a decent 1½ year old buck in their truck. I talked to them a bit...said they shot it in the front leg...right above the first joint. They blood trailed it hundreds ofyards...saw it bedded down..and shot it right in the throat.
How you shoot a deer that low on the front leg is beyond me...then have the nerve to track it. lol
