Now this was an excellent thread! I couldn't agree more with everybody. I admit that I DO like to see the deer go down; however, it's not in the joy of killing something that I enjoy it. I like to see the deer go down because it assures me that I've done my job with a QUICK, clean, and efficient kill...nothing more. I'll admit, I've had to call game wardens on more than one occasion to come out and kill a deer (always doe) that I had to sit and watch suffer before WI encountered CWD and earn a buck. The only reason I wouldn't shoot them outright was fear of PROSECUTION. It would litterally flip my stomach to see it, and an even more so after a half hour to an hour nobody coming looking for it. I love to watch deer, in the animal world, they are without a doubt an almost perfect example of beauty, power, and grace in one package.
