Like I said at the end of my last post, if someone wants to do it, fine.
I was just making the point that cutting a deer's throat after it has been shot either by bow or gun then gutted is totally not necessary.
It is kind of an old wives tale type thing.
Why do some people do it?
Probably because they heard that someone else does it, who heard that someone else does it, and so on.
But hey, like I said, it doesn't really matter, unless you want that cape for a mount.
Notice the pics on here. You will only see a deer with its throat cut on a very few of them.
Why? Most experienced hunters know that there is no need.
I keep feeling the need to say that I'm not putting anyone down if they do it. I'm just trying to be informative for those who might not know.
