Well put atlas.There was a reason this kid got hammered.He shot the deer and didnt even go look for it.He couldnt find his arrow and figured he missed and hit a tree and it deflected.He didnt even look for a blood trail whats so ever.He didnt even come back the next morning to look for anything.This is the reason the young man got ridiculed by most of us who posted on that thread.I would of expected the same thing if it was me who had done this.His friend called him the next day to tell him he found his buck for him.
Now what would you of said if you knew this?I dont think you would of been happy with it.Yes a mistake was made by a young hunter new to the sport.But as it may seem we were hard on him but for a reason.I know if this was me who did it my father wouldnt of let me back in the woods.A lesson needed to be taught here.Sometimes it takes a stern word to get it to sink in.But from this thread I do believe this young man will know where we are coming from and get the hint.I for one will help anyone who wants the help and asks for it.I think that we need more people interested in our sport.but they need to be taught ethics which ever way it comes from.
