Yeah, I hate it when people don't put any effort into recovery too but I also hate it when people act as if loosing an animal is one of the 7 Deadly Sins. A person can be careful and a good shooter and still get a bad stick on an animal because it's a live target and there's many variables in the woods (unseen twig). I'm all for encouraging people to recover their kill as much as possible, the recovery thread is a great example, I just want people to do it in a kind spirit that encourages rather than condemns.
