My advice, keep calling game wardens, you might get the answer you want.
I am usually a stickler for the law, but if an animal is mortally wounded and or cannot get up and move, then I'm gonna do the ethical thing in my mind and deal with the repercussions should they come. LE has more...
I follow a lot of hunters, but never cared for Bowmar for some reason. Anybody can mess up once, but when there's a pattern emerging you start to question the ethics and morals.
That's pretty crazy. Wonder how many concussions these bucks suffer over the years, you'd think they suffer some sort of trauma from all the fighting they do. Tough animals!!
I hunted over 20 days this year, easily the hardest I've ever hunted and I'd agree almost completely what Sligh stated. Very weird year and mature bucks were very hard to hunt. On 3 different occasions I heard deer coughing, I've heard deer cough in the past, but not as much as this year...

Dang, glad you're ok. I try to replace my straps every couple years, but one year I forgot and my super old LW straps would slip slightly on my climbing sticks, allowing the strap to slowly slide. I started tying the strap in a knot after I attached it to the tree and this stopped it. I...
