RE: The stuck buck (pics)
Seems ironic that I tried like hell to kill him all seasonbut didn't want to when he was "tied to a tree". If I would have been able to free him that morning and then seen him at my stand later in the day, I wouldn't even blink twice about putting an arrow through his ribs. Something to do with fair chase and ethics I guess.

Congrats Livbucks!
The congratulations are for being the kind of sportsmen we need more of! You sacrificed your tag so that a great animal would not be wasted. Lots of guys would have simply shot him and left the fence out of the story. Some would haveshot him and with noshame and still boasted as if their hunting skill waswhat got them that buck.
You made the best of a tough situation,we need more sportsmen like you!

You did the right thing man, and thanks for sharing the story. I'm glad you found him when you did. I've heard so many stories of deer being found like that, but always with the deer being dead many days before being found. [&o]
