[QUOTE="scn, post: 5150960, member: 1859"] Sorry, IF (IF) this was property adjacent to Radnor, I don't have much sympathy for this hunter. The retrieval issues out there are a known deal. He obviously failed to do his homework ahead of time where he would have quickly found out that he wasn't going to be able to go on the State Park to retrieve a deer. And, if he set up within 40 yds of the boundary line to bowhunt, then it is again on him for a stupid decision. In my 57 years of bowhunting, I've killed a deer or two with a bow. I can probably count on one hand the number that have fallen within 40-50 yds. And, those were "bad" shots on my part when I hit higher than I wanted and "spined" the deer. The very nature of bow hunting is to put a razor sharp broadhead through the heart/lung vitals and have the deer run off to be recovered. Most may be dead within 10 seconds, but they can cover a lot of ground in those seconds. Setting up that close to the edge of the property is irresponsible if you don't have permission to leave the property to retrieve the deer. But, big deer colors peoples perspectives in a lot of ways. And, to the title of the thread, I would imagine 9 out of 10 folks that opened it were expecting to find something against TWRA since that is who Tennessee Wildlife Enforcement brings to mind. And, it has zero to do with them. Since it hasn't been edited, I guess that was the author's intention. [/QUOTE]
