Been hunting 30 years. Only deer I ever had to finish with a knife was one I hit with my truck — broke its spine, so I ended it quick so it wouldn’t suffer. But in the woods? Nah. If a deer’s still alive, I’d rather put another arrow in it. Getting close is risky — hooves can mess you up real bad. That’s why I tell every new bowhunter: practice like crazy. A clean, lethal shot the first time saves everyone a lot of pain. #hunting #bowhunting #huntingethics
