Yeah, but I would hope for a different outcome. Like they seperate and the other buck runs off.

That's a very tough call because that was a very nice buck. The other thing that needs to be considered as far as PA goes is, I have one tag and I'll have to cut the other bucks antlers off to recover my deer plus,

it's obvious they were not going to free themselves so they both would eventually die a horrible death so chances are,

Yes, I'm shooting the bigger of the two and taking my saw and seperating the two.

Yes I would if I was close enough, a friend of mine did it this last fall on a pair of bucks locked up. Awesome video!

Yes. And if I have the extra tag and the second buck stands still long enough (ethical shot)...I'd shoot him, too.

Nothing wrong withwhat I sawat all.

Man did anyone notice the blood that broadhead sprayed? That's insane. I wish they all bled like that. Unreal.

Seems the video recieved a lot of negative comments from "hunters." The quality of the footage is terrible, but from the looks of it, they weren't going to free up very easily. IF and it's a BIG IF, they did, great, and sure if I KNEW they would unlock, no I wouldn't shoot them in that siutation. However, most likely they wouldn't, and like Rob said, their end would involve a whole lot of suffering. I would shoot one, free the other, regardless of tags...not sure why regardless of tags, it's just me.
