RE: Poor Taste!!!!!! Gives hunters a bad rap!!!
jaysweet, I'm not disputing the fact whether or not what the neighbor did was right or wrong. I agree fully, that domesticating any kind of wild animal is wrong. But, the fact is they did, and they took steps, so that any hunter seeing the animal would know that. To shoot it, is tasteless, low class and definately not sporting, due to the fact it had lost its fear of humans.
Your friend was caught in a totally different scenario, how was he to know that the eight-point buck had been domesticated, other than it ran to the only security blanket it knew of---- the farmers house, and died..
