No I haven't, and I can't tell you that anyone that I have ever known has... main reason being I hunt in the coastal part of Texas and letting it sit 2 hours would mean the meat would go bad...

A fatal hit doesn't mean 'instant death'... deer run off, and are not always dying right away, but their injuries will lead them to suffer a slow and painful death... We get the point, it is illegal, however, it is the right thing to do...

As I've said, it is illegal for one reason: You can't trust anyone these days... Someone can kill the deer at night and pop another round off in it just to give it two shots so that the game warden could believethey "finished the deer off"... that would be lying... to keep that from happening, they say you can't finish the deer off, not because it's not right, but because it could be used as an excuse when poaching...

I myself would chose to do what's right, of course I'd try and notify a game warden of what was going on to see if he could do it himself, but I could also just do it myself right then and there without the hassle...

How bout a pop a hole in you and let you crawl around in coyote infested woods, would you rather be eaten alive by them or put out of your misery?

Do unto others (and in this case, God's creatures) as you would have them to unto you...
