I'm not saying that it wasn't a nice deer. To me it would be the same thing as shooting a buck tangled in a barb wire fence. I just don't think I could have shot it.

AH, so youre saying you would let a deer suffer in a fence and die? Well my brother found a deer tangled in a fence once.. it had a broken leg. SO HE SHOT IT and put it out of its misery. I would have done the same thing.

Any hunter who says he wouldn't have shot it would also say he would "turn down" Jennifer Aniston...I wouldn't believe him either.....Nor would I want to associate with him...

If his story is correct, then he is the one at fault for injuring the deer to begin with for taking a shot that was out of range. Sorry if you don't agree with me, but it was an unethical kill. He got lucky as heck that the deer got itself trapped under the lawn ornament. I've seen the same thing with people trying to kill deer at300 yds with high powered rifles and then gut shooting them or leg shooting them. I gotta go with Inhunter on this one. It was an unethical shot and the deeer could have just easily run off and died some where from the leg shot.
I would like to know where in southern indiana though.

I'll say that is a long shot with a bow. However it depends on who's behind it. Guy I work with tagged a doe at 68 yards and she made it about 40 yards. Me I dont feel comfortable past 40 yards just yet. Now...if I saw that in my backyard though he'd be deader than the grass under my bassboat. And yes being a backyard we dont know what was behind him, i.e. vehicles etc but if I saw that deer feeding directlyinfront of my '06 GMC. I'd probably just call my truck a necessary casualty.
