You know my friend I know you did everything possible to recover this animal because I was with you, and of all the hunters out there today I would choose you to help locate my animal. Critisim is fine , opinions are fine ,outlandish digs from so called " sure shot "lip slinging jokers that would'nt have the guts nore the self respect to post there story as you did,well, there not worth the breath they take let alone yours...To say your a know it all or self absorbed individual? Only about the love for the animals you pursue and the sport you love and if that is being self absorbed I'm in..The TRUE archers and fellow sportsman that have been there understand this post,and the other individuals well let them live in there fantasy world..That whitetail is alive and well and will be back for a rematch this year.. Stay focused my friend, the only chip on our shoulders are the ones from others wishing they were us..
