See that's how I was with my deer Beezer. I knew I put a really good shot on him and that an additional shot wouldn't be needed. I mean the deer dropped right in it's tracks and it wasn't a spine shot. I didn't want to get down from my stand and push the deer so I just waited about 30 minutes and let him die, but it was difficult to watch him wheeze and whine like that for about a minute. I mean even if I had gotten down from my stand he would have died by the time I made it to him, but I couldn't help but feel bad for him... With that being said, I'm still gonna bust the next big buck that walks by and not think twice about it lol. My goal is to just make a well placed shot and make the death as quick and painless as possible. Like kswild said, I feel like that is our responsibility as a hunter.
