I can understand not letting people hunt with them, but that law is just so stupid. I don't get it. Good luck on the deer.
Best of luck to you. Everyone that's ever hunted has made a questionable shot at one point or another, whether they own up to it or not. It's a bad feeling, but it does stick in your head the next time you draw on a deer, ultimately making you a better hunter. Just remember that in hunting, just as in all other aspects of life, more valuable lessons are learned through failure than through success. I do hope though that your story has a happy and successful ending to it. Good luck!
