[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1765121, member: 8873"] Different strokes for different folks. I normally try to take at least one shoulder out. I’ve had the deer of a lifetime run a couple hundred yards after a perfect broadside hit and expire next to an old dirt road, only to be stolen. And had another run a ways and jump into some fast moving water, never to be seen again. I try to drop them where they stand, and if not then make sure they cannot go far (I will also shoot till I know they are done). I would rather lose a little meat than lose it all. I also hunt deer on a small piece of property and don’t need deer running and jumping the fence onto the neighbors. Also had a buddy that lost a bull elk in Colorado because it made it a few hundred yards and crashed through a rancher’s fence. That fella wouldn’t let him retrieve it even though it was but 50 yards on his land. And he had known the guy under good terms for 10 years, even offered to pay for the fence. Maybe I wish all this weren’t true and I had the ideal hunting locations, them I may view things differently. [/QUOTE]
