Stopped to die with an arrow in it's back by the side of a busy road :shrug: It's like the ending of a bad deer movie.

It'd be like, "ARRGHH, they got me Buck. Damm them hunters! Tell Faline I love her and tell Thumper I'll miss him." (Spins around and falls to the ground. Fade to Faline standing looking out of the thicket, waiting. Fade to black)

This morning I was driving on 235 Northbound, and between gates 2 & 1 there is a deer laying in the grass along the base fence with an arrow in it's back. Is it even still hunting season? That didn't seem right, if you are going to shoot a deer, shouldn't you at least track it?

yeah, but it's not always possible. An injured deer can sometimes run fast and far. Plus, hitting one with an arrow provides less predictable results than a bullet.

Why would a hunter take all of that time over night to shoot the deer with an arrow and then change his mind by sunrise about taking it home? :confused:

You are kidding, right?

First...hunting season ended in January. Second...I nailed a doe during shotgun season, and waited two hours to track her. I got a great bloodtrail for 100yards, found a huge pool...and then NOTHING. A lot of deer went lost to hunters this year because they were pretty fatty and clogged up so the blood trails were lost. I spent about 7 hours in total looking for that doe, and was disgusted to have lost her. Most hunters are the same way...whoever shot that arrow probably spent quite a bit of time trying to track that deer. Its not like we spend a ton of hours in the woods waiting (hunting), shoot, and then say...uh, nevermind...don't feel like tracking today, I'll just go home. And besides, most people don't hunt next to the busy roads. Good concept thought, shoot it, then just drive around and look for it! :killingme

Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to track a deer with minimal blood trail when there isn't a snow on the ground. This year's weather has sucked for hunting for many reasons.

Why I don't like bow hunting. I appreciate that its a bigger challenge, but never much liked the idea of it taking so long for them to die and then possibly losing them. I'm more for BLAM, then go get your deer, and even that isn't certain.
