The game animal you shot goes down, but when you get to it, it is still alive. How do you dispatch the animal? What if it's archery season when you cannot use a firearm?

Great question! I usually cut the throat. I'd rather not waste an arrow/broadhead. But I've also made the mistake of grabbing the buck to early and had my wrist pinned against the tree by a big ol' 9 point. Won't make that mistake again. I had to jab him in the chest about 6 times before I got my hand from under his rack. Live and learn!!!

If as deer etc I use another arrow or if a turkey ring its neck or something.
Even though I carry a Springfield 45XD here in Arkansas during Archery and Muzzle loading season, you’re allowed to carry concealed weapons if you’re licensed. You cannot use the firearm in any way other than personal protection period!

If the animal is sitting up looking at me, I use another arrow. If it simply requires the coup de gras, I punch the carotid at the base of the throat with my knife.
With a turkey the nervous system is very primative and it is not unusual for them to flop about quite a bit even with a broken neck. Anyone who has ever taken a hatchet to a Sunday dinner chicken has experience with this. With a turkey simply stand on its head...

Uhh, i dont know about you, but i dont usually bring golf clubs with me on my hunt. Any way, why should you treat a doe any different then a buck. As a hunter it is your responsibility to end suffering as much as possible. If you dont you shouldnt be considered a sportsman.
