If given the opportunity and I know the first shot was good I still shoot again. You never know.

I did and she dropped in 10 more yards but I probably could have watched her nose dive without it.  Wasn't sure on the consensus on that one.

Just got home. Buck down! Shot him at 4:30. Saw him run out and stop after the shot. Found blood followed it for 50 yards, didn't like what I saw and pulled out to give him more time. Went back and fo

I’ve ruined good meat doing it but I guess I’d rather know the deer is down vs running injured. I’ve made what I though where good shot before only to find out I completely missed.

Ever get to a stand you think will be perfect and then realize as sun rises you cant cover near as much ground as planned?  Not that it has ever happened to me but I sure hope a Deer passes close by this morning.   Lol

That was me opening day and it cost me a buck, he was across an opening before I could get on him

I literally thought about that but figured like u better to know she is done.  But I knew when she took off I hit where I aimed.

So question, I shoulder shot this doe.  She took off running on 3 legs and dragging her right front leg.  I had the opportunity to shoot her again at 30yds as she ran.   Do you shoot knowing the first shot was money?   Just curious.  

Yes, but I like shooting. They ain't dead until I haven't hands on them. A couple pounds of wasted meat beats a long track any day!

Sounds like a great start to the day. I’ve had my hands in butchering 4 deer this season(2 bow and 2 gun). It’s amazing the difference/destruction a gunshot makes. I’m not a “gun guy” to begin with so that plus the havoc a bullet causes on the meat I only bow hunt-long somewhat tangential answer but I would not shoot again- I’m in it for the GOOD meat. I see the risk but if you KNOW (and I think we typically do sense that) a good shot was made, a second shot is overkill

You said hanging by the neck is wrong and you want the blood to pool up in the neck, I proved that theory incorrect and stated that it doesn’t matter. Then you said “never rinse unless gut shot” I showed that you can rinse and in the same link proved that bleeding one out is not going to happen on a dead gutted deer. 
You do it your way because that’s how you were taught, I could care less honestly. Any ones option on right and wrong is just that, an opinion. Unless some one is mishandling the carcas, who cares. I need to kill one before I have to worry about it. Haha 


I think we’re on the same page with how to hang, but I stand by my no rinsing stance and will highlight again, unless gutshot.

I certainly don't dispute that.  I shot knowing 2d was in the boiler room too.  I did think about it though.
