If they don't want to be shot on the ground they better be standing. In the infinate wisdom of Uncle Ted "A deer is a deer". I get a kick out of people saying that they won't shoot a duck on the water. He better not land in my decoys. I let 3 times more deer walk than I shoot every year, and I am a 2 yr 8pt or better shooter. I don't see the big deal about whether to shoot one laying down is. It is legal so yes I will.
