teejay your making this more complicated then it is
how about this some idiot rifled it i nthe front leg?

I would shoot him but it's probably a little easier for me than it is for some because we have a two buck limit. So I either have two buck tags or I have already killed a good buck and am trying for another one so I would put him out of his misery and forget about trying to kill another big one.

I've been in this situation already and took the crippled doe. That same season, I also purposely hunted all season for ANOTHER crippled doe. She eluded me the entire year even though I had her almost with-in bow range a couple times. She was very smart and capable despite her crippled back leg. I even watched her spar with a buck during the rut. She put her head down to challenge him and then pushed him around! He gave up!

I usually trophy hunt when I'm after bucks, but when a crippled deer comes along, I will change my own rules.

OK, are you ready for this?

I agree with silentassassin!

Kyle Colburn

depends on the seriousness of the situation. if i wouldnt shoot him i can imagine somebody else would shoot him that gun season.

silentassassin

It's never pleasant but it happens to everyone at some time or another. You just have to try and forget about it and move on

i got this idea from druryoutdoors whitetail madness a man shoots a crippled doe thata buck tried geting with while she was not moving onthe ground
he was kicking her and thrashing her wit his horns...she gotshot inthe foot[]

As long as I wasn't breaking any of ourlaws I'd take it.

Wish I could say i would take it because in NJ i would get my new buck tag on Nov. 1 for permit bow.
