Todd, you can always leave them lay until you are done with dinner.
That's sorta like saying "My wife won't leave me have stuffed animals in the house, that's why I didn't shoot that 200 class 12 point buck that I saw 20 yds away yesterday."
Well, there's also the consideration that I was unarmed at the time. I know. It's incredibly weak to live where I live, have a farm with a decent deer population, and go there without a weapon. Heck, it's incredibly weak to go anywhere without a weapon in the car. I know. I am now suitably ashamed.
