RE: Tough on the emotions
Took my nephew out on a ML hunt last wednesday and he shot a doe. I help him gut his first deer but this one I made him do most of it just helped when I had too. When he pulled the guts out I seen two bloody/veiny sacks. I debated exploring cause I thought I new what it was just didn't know if the 13 year old nephew could handle it right. So I decided to cut them open only to find two babies about three inches long, perfectly formed but no hair. Me and him both felt kinda bad but then he said "it's a good thing we are at the top of the food chain" thenI realized its out of the hunters controll and then felt fine. But it does make you stop and think. As for whatburniegoeasily said about wounding deer I one time had a very bad experiance one time. I spine shot a small buck above the shoulder paralized all legs but one front leg, bled real bad. So I thought I would just wait it out, the deer seamed calm just needed to let it bleed out. After about ten minutes the blood stoped and the deer seamed to be relaxing. Me being the big hunter I was thought I'll just get out of the tree and slit its throat. Mistake!! as soon as I got half way out of the tree the deer seen me and started grunting so loud it almost hurt my ears. Then it started that sreaming crap and spining on the one leg in circles. I had a hard time placing the shot as it spun on the ground but was able too. But when I shot the buck stoped spining and looked right at me in the eyes and the only thing I could think of was if he could get up I would be a dead man. I tossed my bow on the ground and went to the house to get the ATV and sat in the garage for about twenty minutes in complete disgust! I almost went out and dug a hole for the darn thing. But I came to and went and got him. Just means we have a heart, some guys dont.
