rules around my parts are 1st VITAL SHOT...heart, lung, etc. Grazing the deers ass, or a leg won't kill it, so it is the first kill shot.
I remember about 10 years ago...they call it the KOWALSKI BUCK. Shot on 9 acres of land in Manorville NY. 3 friends were hunting this lot the same day.........1st guy shot it in the ass. It ran..2nd guy shot low and knicked it. it ran 3rd guy spined and killed it.
3rd guy wins.
The funny thing is.........the Kowalski buck was like 27 points non typical and scored gross 243 or some crap ! UNREAL BUCK, but you got to hit it in a vital. bottom line.
I am hard pressed to believe I was leaving my deer with 4 chumps.
Not unless they were dragging it out for me !
