I accidently killed two deer with my bow tonight and I only had a tag for one. [:@]I didn't mean to...They came in right at last light and I couldn't see the second one.I don't feel like it was my fault.
Know your target..........and beyond. There is no such thing as an accident when you knowingly fire a weapon. What if it wasn't a small deer in the background and it was a small child instead??
It bothered me so much that even though I have a couple of tags left I might not kill anymore deer this year, I don't know...
I hope this means that you tagged THIS deer and still have a couple tags left..........if not you have crossed the line from making a mistake to making a concious decision to do the wrong thing.
What is the right thing to do?
Don't tell me to turn myself in because that ain't gonna happen! [:'(]
Why ask that question if you already know the answer........I think you are just here in hopes people will soothe your guilt by telling you "It's OK.......no problem......don't worry about it"
Does this mean I should quit bow hunting???

Only if you are not putting tags on the ones you kill.........otherwise you made a mistake that thankfully only resulted in a dead deer and nothing worse.
