What kind of bowhunter would not follow up a spine shot deer with a follow up shot? He doesn't even deserve to be in the woods.

Sounds like the deer was shot just before hours ended. Deer rolled down hill and out of sight from the hunter in stand. Hunter climbs down the tree and approaches the deer and legal shooting hours have passed.

Throwing stones like that one will earn you a spot as the Phillies closer.

Throwing stones?

I'm sorry, but any bowhunter knows when they spine shoot a deer, which ethically, should always require a follow up shot.

I don't know about you, but I know my rear end would have been climbing down out of my stand and following up with a second shot right away to put that deer out of its misery. It not going anywhere, it's paralyzed.

I missed where the post says he waited in his stand for darkness to come....................oh, wait....

It takes a few minutes to safely climb down a tree with a climber.

I believe the point of the post is what you would do if you were unable to make the follow up shot until after legal hours.

No....what I'm saying is that saying this hunter shouldn't be in the woods is pretty harsh, considering he did everything he is legally permitted to do. I would probably ilegally kill the deer in the dark too. But actually, you and I are the one's that would get slapped on the hand according to the law.
