I take the shot.  The recovery from downed animal to dinner table is all of 3 feet.  World's shortest pack-out job.

I take the shot. The wall provides a good backstop, my target is clear and my line of sight if good. Escape route is blocked by the crash cart and plenty of supplies on hand for field dressing with surgical precision.

I kinda got a chuckle out of this one in the comments:   :chuckle:

I am sure it's all Obama's fault. He probably gave a speech the deer heard and the deer learned that he had a right to free medical care, and so he wanted to check out the facilities, and so on. It's just another example of why we need the Tea Party to take back the country--next thing you know, the Emergency Rooms will be swarming with deer demanding all kinds of special services because Obama suggested they were entitled

I'm definitely putting up a structure with signs all around that say ER entrance, hospital or clinic and maybe they will just flock to me needing immediate medical care?   :dunno:  Of course the diagnosis would be the same for all...euthanize! :chuckle:

Depends - is it uphill or downhill to the parking lot?
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
