Since this is the bow hunting forum, my reply is this: If the person who downs the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd thing they see and will eat it, congratulations! You have consumed an animal that nature intended to be ate. I' ve bowhunted since 91 and haven' t picked up a gun since. I' ll shoot the 1st brown that walks by. I may shoot the next brown that walks by. The 3rd, I may be selective now. I have a wife and 3 boys that love eatin deer meat. My time at home (if I' m lucky to be home and not deployed) is valuable. I move to several places meaning I know no locals and have to figure the land and deer by myself. I don' t have the luxury anymore to know where the bigguns are usually taken and know the farmer that has land to hunt on that isn' t leased, etc, etc. So, when I find land to hunt on, and I see a doe or young buck, I' m gonna try to put him/her in the freezer.
