This is very sad for the family of this deer hunter. Dispatching a deer with a knife is just a bad idea. My buddy and I happened to come across an injured deer on our way to our stands one evening. He decided to whip his knife out and finish her off. He did, but the struggle left him with a deep cut on his finger and he almost lost it. Right then and there I decided I would always just noc another arrow and shoot again if need be.
