Yes, I think I would too. In most cases the deer are just as alert when laying as when standing, and sometimes more so. I passed a nice buck one time that was in his bed. He was about 40yds and with my .284 win. he had no chance. But instead I watched hi for about 5 minutes and decided to let him live. Mainly because he had an oddle deformed right antler. and continued hunting down the bench past him.
