RE: When does a Kill become a Pickup?
Every deer in the world looks bigger on the hoof than he does on the ground. Zaft said he shot at a big buck. How many big bucks are there in that country...... A LOT more than there are in many areas. A 160 class buck in a hurried situation looks lie 250. No, we're not sure that buck is his. We're not sure it's the same one. We can't even find an arrow hole. You must have a chain of evidence leading to that deer.... even if it's a lucky find.... such as an arrow wound or something. But to find a destroyed carcass is absurd. I would think fair chase should have an asterisk that states and recovered in edible condition. Even in the pictures in the field they say he's using a different cape to display the horns. For all I know the darn thing was rotten when he found it.
