During the "10 to 15 minute max" Do you sit there and watch the deer suffer?
Is it no more than 20 yards or 20 to 100 yrds the norm? make up your mind.

No matter where or how I shot the deer doesn't matter. I just think you've got big balls telling these guys in this forum that:

"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."

You even prefaced it with "I''m probably going to step on some toes with this one" knowing it was just a dumb statement to make.

In Wisconsin we have killed thousands in the CWD area to curb the problem. In our state you can buy two permits a day in addition to your regular license. 100 or 200 deer is not a lot, especially when you are paid by the state to help fight the problem. Look in the newspaper if you still don't believe me.

You even say it takes 10 to 15 minutes for the deer to die with your perfectly well aimed shot (because you practice more than the rest of us) I personally have more respect for the deer than to watch it suffer like that. Look at a watch and time 10 to 15 minutes, it's a long time to sit and watch a deer die. That's why these guys post the question, not because they are bad shots.

There's no sense in continuing this thread with you because you are all over the map. You were right, you did step on toes and obviously from the other posts not just mine. I think when you become a more experienced hunter you will see what we mean when we say not every kill is instant and it doesn't mean the shoot took a wild shot or doesn't practice. Most guys here are serious hunters and care about the sport give them a little credit.
