HMMM for those of you who said there are no legal issues. Would this not (as they stand) be the definition of taking refuge in water?

A condition in which it's illegal to shoot deer in both Ohio and PA that I know of. How about your State?

Also even if that wasn't a concern, would you not be just as worried that the one you shot would drag the other down and drown it?

I don't think I could do it. I really don't!
