BJ and bawana - you may be the minority here, but I'm with you 110%.

ANYONE setting up where a wounded deer may run off the property onto one where recovery is not allowed should be accepting thepossibility ahead of time that a deer they shoot may go unrecovered. Fact is nothing goes to waste in the natural order of things. And playing the "God" card as reson to disrespect a persons rights should be embarrising to a real believer - using religion as an excuse to pursue their recreational activity illegally. I don't see how the use of "Gods creatures" other then the thinking, reasoning human that shot it would be disrespectful to that animal. If you truly feel that way, you could easily avoid it by not shooting to start with.
