Fieldmouse,I think 3 hours is a about right to wait on a liver shot deer.You know as well as anyone that you can't go after a deer right away when the shot is less than perfect with a bow.



Jerry,on the otherhand,how do you know the person that field dressed the deer didn't shoot it also.If it came by their stand still walking,they may have not known it was dying.If this is the case,they have as much right to the deer as anyone.Rgardless,your nephew has learned the importance of practicing and making a good shot.


Just playing Devil's advocate.I am not saying tis is the case but just stating it is a possibility.
