Braveheart
A Damning Indictment Against Bow Hunting
Braveheart is the unfortunate yet highly destined deer whom fate had chosen to stand forever in damning indictment against bow hunting - hunting at its cruelest. Statistics gathered since the 1970s from various states have shown that on average, the wounding/killing ratio is about 55/45. In other words, for every 100 deer killed by arrows, another 120 would wander the woods with one or more arrows imbedded in non-vital part of their bodies, for days, weeks, even months. Bow hunters could argue that the data is old, but are the bow-hunters of today better shots than those 30 years ago? Could they out-shoot Robin Hood? Would they dare to shoot apples placed on the heads of their sons, as William Tell did his own?

? If they could get pics, they could have had DNR or some trained biologist either save the deer or put it out of its misery. But NO, they had to glory in watching it starve/abscess to death.
