^^^^It's not. Leaving the remains on a boat ramp, shoreline, or places that aren't respectful to the fish or people is what's bad.

Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

When does it start?
Been thinking about getting a bow
And I don’t care what anybody says, I can figure it out
Give me 2 hours and I can hit a deer at 30 yards
It ain’t that hard Hitting it in the a$$ don't count. It might. Hitting a deer in the [censored] can be a killing shot. I shot one right up the pooper once running away from me. Lease buddy shot a nice one last year in the butt. It was the only shot he had. Slight difference between the knock down power of a 300 mag and an arrow. so he shot to wound the deer?

Im going to voice a couple opinions on some comments I read in this thread...
Shooting them in the A$$...The "ham shot" is a very deadly shot and has a very high percentage of recovery using archery equipment.
Deer jumping the string at 30+ yards...Deer are capable and just as likely or more likely to jump a string at 20 yards as they are at 45 yards.

Speaking of hinting anyone know how to stop mice or possibles a flying squirrel from eatin my horns I have 6-8 skull mounts on my covered patio. Is there something i could spray on my horns to stop this. Haven't tried any rat bait other than the sticky traps baited with peanut butter. Thanks Jeff

No,it's not. Your post implies it's a good idea to aim for the hindquarters. When in fact it's a bad, dumbazz idea. Sure you might "get lucky" and clip the femoral artery but the odds of that happening are not good.

Does all your info come from "Field & Stream" magazines?

How about yourself?

I’ve been fortunate enough to have gone to many different places all over the world to hunt with either rifle or bow and have killed two booner whitetails with a bow and in all my travels and people I’ve hunted with I have never heard of anyone anywhere in the world ever say to intentionally shoot a deer in the a$$. Guess you learn something new everyday whether is good, bad or just plain crazy.

LOL I never said to aim for the A$$, but it has a very high percentage of recovery rate.
I think my "research" started after my nephew accidentally ham shot a deer and people were flaming away saying the same old "needle in a haystack", "femoral artery" , how lucky he was stuff, but then a strange thing happened where people started talking about how many they have ham shot over the years and how they almost always recovered them all. Some of these guys are legit hunters with hundreds of kills under their belts, one has (at the time) the most number of animals entered into the P&Y books and I believe he recovered every animal he accidentally ham shot. Hell, even Fred Bear said he never failed to recover an animal shot in he ham area. I then started a poll on Archery Talk and it was in the +90% recovery rate on ham shot deer for years, I think the haters showed up and down voted it some but it was still in the 88% range and when you factor in that people claim to shoot them perfect and not recover them, thats a damn good number.

Oh yeah, 50+/- kills and most of those coming off of public land and all with archery gear. No booners yet, but hopefully I get a chance or two in the future.
