I had a shotgun doe this year, shot through the heart, ZERO blood. If I hadn't insisted to the point of a fight that I made a good shot my husband would have given up and a doe less than 75 yds away would have been lost.
You can absolutely make ethical shots and still need help. To do anything less is wasting game and unethical.
I'm going to use my dogs regardless of the law. I can do more with less risk to my future ability to hunt with a law passed.
