re: Guns during bow season for protection.

Friend told me a story of him drowning a nice buck on the Ouachita River. He was in bass boat and unlucky buck swam by. He went on and on, about him almost getting away 4-5 times.. Took him over 30 minutes. I felt bad for the deer. This sucker wasnt hunting of course, and simply tortured the poor animal till he was exhausted and drowned. He actually mounted him. He thought I was gonna congratulate him....I just shook my head and told him he needed to be shot.
