Nothing worse than tracking a shot deer through thick nasty shit only to find its a tiny yearling!
Well my ratio of deer shot to let walk is 0:5. I can see the point in VC's comment that you basically wouldn't shoot hinds at any time of the year if you wouldn't shoot them pregnant or with dependants. For me it would depend on the situation. If I'd put in some miles and it was the only thing that presented I would likely bag it. If there were options I'd go for something easy to carry since I'm a wimp.
somehow I seriously doubt that GM.Quote:
