Always a voice of reason NEW...thanks and if you think about it, we've seen the bear that was electricuted, the moose hung on high wires, the deer are the pole, road kills, locked bucks etc..etc...comes down to mother nature is crueler than man can be. This harsh end of this particular doe was mother nature, but it tells a story about how an arrow can be more humane and a deer can actual recover. It also closes a page in GMMAT's book for that one particular shot....a happy but very sad ending.
