[QUOTE="trebark, post: 528848, member: 19172"] The reason for not pursuing a wounded animal is because without knowing you have made a fatal shot, deer can go for miles and miles. So often the best thing to do is not to push them and just let them lay down and die. This might not be the most humane thing for the deer, but it's more likely that you will recover the animal. Also, if you push an animal it may run off the the property where you have permission. Technically, deer are property and even if you shoot a deer 'here' on your property, then it runs 'there' onto someone else property, technically it becomes the propery of the guy over 'there' and if you don't have permissoin on that property, you can't cross that line without technically trespassing. I know this first hand. I had a buddy shoot a deer and we tracked it for more than a mile. As we tracked, we heard a gunshot in the distance. We kept up the tracking and eventually it lead us to a guy standing over the deer. We said "that's our deer" "we shot it". The man replied, I shot it too AND it's on my property so it's my deer. Much as it didn't seem 'right' he was correct. [/QUOTE]
