I've seen SO many people lately on TV spine a deer and "seemingly" (though we never really know what occurs off camera) hang their bow back up and pan away (panning away for obvious reasons - public viewing).
I've noticed that also. The educated hunter (viewer) knows that the deer is more then likely still alive while someone is chatting away (and often high fiving the cameraman) to the camera. That's just not right. [:@]
I agree with Robin. Most of those conversations are edited in after the fact when more arrows have already been sent dispatching the animal. While the educated hunter might think that the deer is still alive, the educated editor knows most likely otherwise.
As far as the original question goes, I have emptied my quiver in an attemt to get an arrow into the vitals of a spine shot deer that was moving. That was not my intent though. I will get out of my stand and try to get an angle to get a solid vitals shot if one is not available from the stand. I don't want to put any more arrows than necessary into that animal to kill it so I take each shot carefully. If more are needed more are taken.
