RE: would you cut a deers throat?
I''m probably going to step on some toes with this one. But I am alarmed at how many deer are not finished off with one arrow. I am nowhere near the perfect archer, however, I have never had a deer run more than 20 yards after the shot. And they all have died within 10-15 minutes max. Having said that, I also am the guy who puts alot of time and energy into this sport and practices year round. So when the season comes, I put myself in a position to make a perfect shot 9 times out of 10. IMO, the only reason these deer are not killed quicker is for bad shot placement. After reading all of these posts about wounded deer, there are obviously alot of shots that should have not been taken in the first place, and hunters who should practice more often than they do. We owe it to the animals we hunt.
