Stealthycat, thanks for the link. After reading the article, I get the impression he forgot about everything else after the deer was found. I guess the risk of such scrutiny outweighs the anticipated rewards of having a potential world record for some people. Who knows, maybe his shot wouldn't even have been fatal. It only injured the deer enough to allow the coyotes to kill it. This has been enlightening.
In answer to your question, which I see as the thread name, NO!!
