Absolutley see no need for it.....a well placed arrow certainly doesn't need a poison kicker and a otherwise non recoverable flesh wound might result in a pitiful non recoverable dead deer. If you hit the vitals and that means anywhere in the body cavity....lungs, heart, liver, guts etc.....and use good woodsmanship, ie...knowing your land, amount of time to let an animal go, etc.....there is no need for poison...In my not so often humble opinion...LOL
