 What are your thoughts?
 Do you cut off antlers with a 40 foot pole to free them?
 Is this fair chase?
 Is it a mercy killing?

My home computer is very slow so I only watched part of it so forgive me if I missed something crucial.  I can see this being very controversial but here's my 2 cents.  As long as no fences, bait...   are involved then its simply God's will that got them entangled so that would be fair chase to me.  However, there's no way I'd shoot one and hope the live one got away and also no way I'd shoot both with just one buck tag.  If I had someone with me (and the odds are I would) then we could each kill one.  Like I said, it's God's will that they got entangled and it would also be God's will that I came upon it so if the stars were in alignment and I had someone with me, we'd have back straps for dinner.

I agree. Imagine you and your buddy go hunting and walk out with that double. You would be telling that story until the day you died.
