RE: Ok Ethics Police ........2 Part Question .................................................
Option #2,
HOWEVER, I would kindly re-ask the land owner and show him the blood trail.
If he wasn't moving on his trespassing statement,
I would call the Game Warden and the Police trying to get them to help them entice a better solution from the land owner.
If all this fails, then you just learned a lesson.
I would have selected #3 and hopefully the buck walked on the correct side of the fence or ran in the opposite direction.
Let the arrow fly - baby!
