Why is it this man has to keep coming back into this thread and explain himself. I have known Dave for many years and he is a top notch bow hunter taking multipul deer evey year. He said it was a mistake and is no dought all over himself for it. This happens all the time in most any thread that is about an unsuccessful hunt.People just tend to pick it apart.If you can't give encourageing commentsafter an admited mistakewhy not just keep them to yourself, after all he didn't have to say anything about the shot. I know people that won't even post a pic of thier deer because if it doesn't meet someones standards they will berate you.
Dave, get back on buddy and if you need help to close off the other end give me a call. Have bow will travel
