I have no regrets for taking the one I did 2 weeks ago. I have two buck tags, though. I never hesitated. When I went to examine his leg, I was touching bare bone. Looked recent.....and like I said....I never hesitated. I'd burn my other one if I see it again.
On the flip side.....I agree that they can survive some unbeleivable injuries. It's a personal decision on what to do (take or pass). I won't judge anyone for making either.
I have a feeling Jeff, you would down just about anything you see.
To answer the posters questions, no I wouldn't shoot it if I don't want the deer. I don't feel the need to go trying to act like God, putting everything out of its misery.
