Default RE: What's the "right" decision?

In my case I have only 45 acres and no access to other properties so I would have to play the waiting game.
Wisconsin laws state you must have permission from the owner before you can go after your game.
Somehow after my big one last year I cant understand for the life of me why he did not leave this 45 acres after we pushed him. Any thoughts?

You guys are assuming the worst case scenario to bolster your argument for waiting. OF COURSE we'd rather recover a deer than bump him all over the country....but you're assuming you ARE going to bump the deer.

The other side of that argument is....

I'd ratherrecover a deer I knew I could eat, than to let the deer lay out there and KNOW I couldn't eat it because I waited.

Neither is "fair". Each strategy comes with its own risk.
