Early In... I'm not sure you understand my post...

Perhaps you haven't shot many deer with firearms, or perhaps you've done most of your hunting from treestands or at long range, when it may take several minutes or longer to get to the deer after you shot it.. The kicking would be over by then..

Many of my deer have been shot with a firearm at fairly close range, say under 100 yards...The ones that don't run and drop ( like a heart or lung shot) were hit close enough to the CNS so they dropped on the spot... Many of those deer kicked for a couple of minutes after I walked up to them.. They certainly did not require a finisher, or if they did, I applied it promptly... They were just going through there death spasms...To try to stick a knife in a deer that is still kicking spasmodically is just inviting injury to yourself..

I hope you are not suggesting that I allowed an animal to suffer unecessarily..
