After reading all these stories of deer dropping and then running off a while later, I now put another one in them when they’re on the ground.
when I was younger I was so scared of a deer getting up after I was thinking it dead. I was so tight wadded and didn’t want to mess any more meat up or waste a round I’d get my pull up rope band tie as many wraps around the deer and a tree. Never drove back to one trying to escape though.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....
