Default RE: Would you shoot a radio collared deer?

If it was good maturebuck, little shortness of breath, adrenalin flowing, pin moving to the beat of your heart,.......yes I'd shoot it.

About 15 years ago, NJ Fish and Game radio collared an 8 point buck during 6 day firearm season in a high pressure public hunting area. During the entire week of the season he remained within 150yds of a large hunting clubhouse. One of the game wardens told me that the buck had only moved about in 100 ft. area.

To me that's pretty amazing. The area that the buck stayed for the week was so close to the clubhouse that it wasn't hunted.
