YES

Hurry up and wait.

WHOOOOPS!!! Sorry Taz, thanks IBM...my mistake. Yes, I would take 'em both.<img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle>

If you have the tags I say fill them! Of course if thats all the tags you get you're gonna be sittin out the rest of the season.

If you double lunged and saw it go down, I would shoot the 2nd also.
I had the opportunity once. Shot an eight point and nocked 2nd arrow to have a nice six walk out of the corn in front of me. I didn't shoot because I did not know yet that the first one was down. I could still see the corn moving where he was down thrashing around. I did not want crossing blood trails. Had I known that he was indeed down when the six walked in front of me, he would have gotten some thunder too!

Keep your knife sharp!

A couple of years ago I took a nice little 6 point. Saw him go down and stay down. Went and checked on him and sure enough he was down for good. Walking back to camp to get my buddies to come help, a doe stepped out in front of me. I wasn't ready at all. Just walking up the sandy road, bow in hand, no release on, not being overly quiet, no arrow ready, nuthin! I was able to move to the side, put on my release (which I had to get out of my fanny pack), nock another arrow and drop her also. Once again, she didn't go far and it was over. So I had shot 2 deer in the course of about 45 minutes. They were both down and marked.

I went back to camp, waited for my buddies to arrive and then we had some work to do! So yes, if I was sure of the good placement and kill shot on the first, I would shoot the second.

Taz, if the first one drops within sight, nock another arrow and get ready. Look for another deer to come right down the same trail. I once got another deer 5 min later. No daily limit here.

Dragging two out is a chore, my father shot as soon as it got light and the other deer come down to me and I was on the ground with shotgun though and shot through the first ones lungs and hit the second one staggered down the hill in the neck dropping it. So we have 3 laying theirto get out and I still had one hanging at home. Makes a long night skinning and quartering but would definetly shoot more then one if allowed again. By the way the landowner said he wanted them killed and after that he said we shot too many and for us not to come back. My father called him a few weeks later and the guy let us come back.

Yes....give it to em!

The only drawback i can see is that if you use all of your tags (assuming you have a limited number of tags in your state) your hunting season will be shorter. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Good for the wife, bad for the hunter!


AH

Taz..yes. I've dont that a number of times. The bottom line is...if you absolutely know for sure that you made a double lung, (whether you saw the deer go down or not), that deer was probably dead before you even thought about another chance, and like wolfen said, usually somewhere between 50-100 yds. Personally I've never had a double lung hit go more than 100yds. Of course if you aren't sure of the hit....that's a different story. Sometimes a not so good hit, can &quot;lay&quot; down within sight....and you might assume they &quot;went&quot; down. Big difference. I had a nice buck that I shot one time and could have sworn that I double lunged him, and I saw him go down about 60 yds out(in some tall grass). Of course, I assume he's done, and 30 mins later....following the blood, up he comes, and off he goes....full steam. I did end up finding him, after backing off, and letting him expire...6 hours later. I turned out that he must have turned on me as I shot, and the angle wasn't as good as I had thought...and I never saw him turn, I thought I had a perfect broadside shot. Just a thought to keep in mind.
