No I would never take a 400 yard shot. I don't get a hard on for taking long shots like a lot of other guys. I just like being an ethical hunter and putting meat in the freezer. Putting a deer down that is wounded and walking 20-30 yards over the fence is the right thing to do. My neighbor actually drove over to our camp last deer season because he wanted us to put down a yearling buck that was dragging itself around with 2 legs near his house, so I don't have to worry about it too much. He is a stand up guy that cares more about ethics and doing the right thing rather than a made up property line. Very glad we aren't neighbors as well because we wouldn't get along very well.

Putting down a wounded animal has nothing to do with playing God. You have your rules and I have mine. If I ever see a wounded deer on the other side of the fence I will put it down. All of you can sit there and watch it suffer just because it is 5 yards on the other side of a barbed wire fence.

Move your blind off your neighbor's fence line and you'll never have to deal with this decision. Problem solved.

Who says a wounded animal is in misery just because it has a limp.

And sure it is. Saying you can handle the situation better than nature is playing God.
I bet you love drought years so you can put skinny deer "out of their misery" they gotta be hurting, there isn't enough food to eat.

Wow. I didn't realize there were people as dumb as you on here. You're telling me that helping an animal out and not letting nature have complete control means you're playing God? I guess this means when we set up a feeder or plant a food plot that we are playing God because we are not letting nature handle all aspects of the animals life. Oh and anyone who puts down a dog is playing God as well. 😂 You're hilarious. I'm going to pray for you to get your head on straight.

Oh, it's time to play it off now because you realize how foolish you sound. I'm glad you came to your senses. Have a good day.
