Hey GMMAT...Everyones said it..and I agree. You Did good. You made a lethal shot on a deer and recovered her.

Was there an option?? And I'm not condemming..I'm thinking out loud...We discuss ethics multiple times daily. At some point do we say the temperature is going to be high 80's or higher, consequently I'm not going to hunt?

In the north we probably do that at times..but it's more for self comfort, than some grand, high road, for the deer we may shoot. In the South it would be much much tougher. Especially on opening day!

As you say "Fair Question"?

AGAIN I will state that I'm not condemming or saying I would have done anything different than you!! But perhaps it is worthy of debate.(?)
