If I know I have a deer down........I am gonna get it. One way or the other. I would be going freaking crazy if I knew I had an 8 pt laying in a field instead of on my butcher table.

I know you did what you thought was right so I am not saying you did the wrong thing. I am just saying I would never have been able to leave him there.

Your decision, no matter how painful it is right now will most likely keep your situation from getting any worse though.........that is a pretty far reach looking for a positive here but it' s all I can come up with right now.

Did you take the rack??
