[QUOTE="woodyard, post: 5776770, member: 2777"] I had an experience a few years ago that I did not like. My son and I were hunting on a cousins farm. Using climbers we were about 400 yds apart. An hour or two after getting settled in I get a text from him that there was a buck from neighbors farm that had crawled into a brush pile a few yards from his tree and appeared to be in pretty bad shape. He couldn’t shoot him from where he was at on his tree, so I said I would come down and check it out. I went over there and liked to never been able to see the deer under the brush. A cedar tree and assorted oak brush was piled up. Finally got down low enough I spotted him and he tried to get up. He had one leg/shoulder just hanging by skin and flapping. The other leg/shoulder was damaged because he could just sort of hump along on his front end. Stunk terribly. I put a shot in him to put him out of his misery. I still remember each of us looking at each other eye to eye In that moment before I could shoot him. Hated it at that moment , but knew I had to end his suffering. He had evidently been wounded either by shooting or maybe hit by a car, couldn’t really tell , and evidently had been a while since it had happened as he had a lot of rotting flesh. One tough animal. Certainly makes you appreciate a good shot and quick kill on one. That ended our hunt out there. [/QUOTE]
