wounded deer
 
have a question for people out here-- you have been hunting for one particular deer, you only can shoot one buck all year and a little buck walks by you and it is wounded do you take it or let it walk? just comment on it, personally i would take it but that is just me

Definitely a personal decision....and no wrong answer.

I've got two buck tags.....and I'd take the shot at the wounded buck. Ihad this exact scenario unfold, last season.

I guess it would depend on the wound---severe buck in pain take it!!! Flesh wound chance he will make it, let him walk!!!
But in real life where we can legal kill two bucks a day I would shoot him!!!

If it was in fact a fatal wound he would be taken if the chance arose!!!!

1 Buck tag...... NO WAY would I opt for thedeerI DO NOT WANT. Thereare no "mercy killings", nature will take care of it. Circle of life thing.... right?

Kill the wounded deer, let it lay for the scavengers, call it a day.

There are so many wolves where I hunt, one would probabley be on its trail. I would wait and shoot the wolf. A wounded deer wouldn't last long. In fact I've found many eaten by wolves....... sometimes its like shed hunting:(

If I only had one tag......I would take the deer....HOWEVER....If I was marking that big buck and he was on my trail cams...and I knew he was in the area and opportunities were high.....I would then pass on the wounded buck....

In Michigan we get 2 tags so I would surely shoot this guy.
