right on lol attleast you got some food on the table and that decent deer didnt go to waste

HUH ? i have eaten alot of road kill deer in the last 30 years and
almost all had alot of salvageable FREE meat. sure ,you wont see how bad it is until you skin it,unless it's mangled.

as for being BLED OUT....... how can a deer bleed out if you shoot it dead and its heart is not pumping ?

and this deer was still alive,since he had to shoot it ?

congrats on your deer ! waste not want not !

Cool of him to let you shoot and keep the buck. I hate to think about how many deer are wasted every year being hit by cars.

You ended his suffering, good on ya!
