RE: Mercy Kill ? Scenario
I was in this same scenario about 4 years ago on my fathers property in PA. We practiced QDM, and shot nothing without 8 points or it had to be mature and wider than it's ears. First morning, a 4 point yearling walked by with a front leg blown off from the neighbors property who did not practice QDM. I put him down and ended the season early. I would rather end it early and miss my opp on a larger buck than know there is a wasted deer in the woods rotting......better off in my freezer than rotting in the woods. Just MHO. He tasted good too..........
