Gov. Pawlenty fails to recover buck, takes heat

Republican Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and his hunting companions failed to recover a whitetail buck he shot during the Governor's Deer Opener last weekend and—rather predictably—some media coverage has been less than sympathetic. Headlines include: Gov. Pawlenty shoots deer, leaves it to die, Pawlenty Deer Hunt: 1 Wounded, Governor Pawlenty shoots, wounds deer, then "prays others" will find it, and The buck apparently didn't stop anywhere.
