this picture clearlyillustrates how deer can recover from a non-lethal archery hit, and be just fine.
HUH??? That deer doesn't look "just fine" to me. Looks like he's in a world of pain but just has to eat because his natural instinct is telling him, eat or die.
Oh and with regard to freedom of speech...
you have the freedom of speech to talk smack to a 6'10" 300 lb guy with anger management problems but he also has the free will to stomp you flat too.
