RE: finally got a deer, well actually two :)
 

I started a thread about finishing deer a long time agoand itgot a lot of responses. It's natural to feel a little pity for your prey but you still have to get the job done. I carry a big buck knife and usually just step on the throat and double lung them unless it is a really big flailing deer then I come up with something else.

I know how you feel man...This last deer i shot was right at dark and it seemed like i could not get no farther away from my truck it was atleast a 3/4 of a mile.well i drug it till i could not go no more then i went for help.by the time we got that sucker out it was abouot 8:30.And when we went to check it in the people threatened to call the game warden on me because they thought i had spot lighted it.Well after we argued about it for 30 mins i told them to get in there car and i could show them were i drug it out at and they did not want to so i told them to shut up and check it in.And plus you could see the drag marks on the bucks back half we drug its hair off.

Yea ive had to cut the throat before, its never a good thing, the little bambis that sit there and watch the whole process is really what breaks my heart, i ussually dont even shoot does becuase i feel sobad, when there is horns involved im all game though
