This is how poacher left deer to an agonising death

The headline that greeted me and many others this morning in the welsh edition of the Daily Post, it has all the potential to be very damaging to our sport, at a very difficult time with NRW making big decisions about shooting over land managed by them, not to mention stirring up the Anti's

Like most have said I can't see how it affects legitimate stalkers or shooters.

 

While the exit wound does look low it also depends on where/wot angle the shot was taken, if taken shooting from uphill and a high seat the entry point might not be that far off

And in the photo the deer does look like it was in a hollow.

U never know I could have been shot quite legitimately and the stalker just lost it if it ran off at last light, it does happen.

Why it can be important to have acces to a training tracking dog (or at very least hae the phone number for UKSHA or UKDTR who will come out and track ur deer for free)

That article is complete rubbish 

If shot from above in a high seat(ideal shot placement ) at close range thats exactly where the exit wound would be .

Why is it a sickening photo .? 

Animal looks a bit wet to me thats all .

And then the follow up comments on the site are just  daft .

What a load of drivel ! ..Shot placement does look a little low , that may well have run a distance before it died ..Not shot by a gun but shot by a rifle .? Who makes this s..t up ?...clearly an exit wound the round they are looking for will Be were the deer was shot ..I’d be interested to know were the nearest land that is shot is in relation to where the deer was found ..Anyone that shoots any amount of deer will at some time have one that runs on , the secret is to have that base covered when you need to ..have a dog , or someone that you can call on with a dog .This strikes me as an RSPCA purse opener ..hundreds of deer I’ve shot look very similar to that ...
