The last one was dropped right at the edge of the orchard. I went to move it the next morning, but the flies were a bit much. :lol: I doubt I've shot a dozen in the past 5 years. We used to let them have free roam, enjoyed their presence. Then we put in ornamentals, fruits, and other...

Under the Mississippi predation laws the meat can't be harvested. While I'm not a stickler for the rules, the last time I cut one up, I used it for dog food. I don't dislike deer meat, but it's not worth the effort to me. I thought about calling Treesmith, but he lives 30 miles over, it was...

Ya'll don't have predation kills in your area? Aside from not being in love with deer meat, I don't see how it's waste or a shame. Would you stop and harvest road kill?

No cutting for me. Can't "profit" from a predation kill.

I did have to wait a second or two to get it to walk from inline with our water hydrant (36-42" tall water faucet).

Frickin deer are carrying our place off here. They rut on the ornamentals and eat the fruit trees. We chase them off nearly every night, tonight I got a bit fed up. 92 yards/12ga/2.75" 00 Buckshot

Would it be true that at a greater distance the game would be less likely to duck the shot/react to the sound?

I would imagine the biggest factors at that distance are an accurate range and reading the wind. I have taken a few deer with 40-45 yard pistol (Glock) shots in "my day." 80 yards is irresponsible for those hunters, but for others it would comfortably be in their skill set.

Taking an 82 yard shot with a bow isn't crazy. Taking a shot at a range beyond your level of proficiency is. If they practice at that range, there is little viable reason they should have missed the target completely. I'd agree with writing a letter to the editor, if you are interested...
