RE: Terrible thing happened tonight......
Been there...
If the general public only knew half of the compassion for wildlife we hunters possess, groups like PETA and others couldn't get the backing they now have.
I put down an adult doe on 12-28 that had been shot through the left-rear shank with an arrow. At the end, she just gave up trying to move, looked at me at five yards , turned her head away as if she knew what was about to happen. I will never forget the look she gave me.
That was the saddest day I have ever spent in the woods; happy to put an end to it, but sad nonetheless.
Shoot often - Hunt always
