Lighten up Frances!!!
Maybe you take wounding animals and leaving them to suffer a pointless death all because of ignorance lightly................I don't.
The guy admits his wrong doing and is asking for advise.
If you mean advice........then he could have gotten here any day of the year BEFORE he screwed up. He doesn't want advice.......he wants everyone here to fix his mess. This board and all it's members provide advice and information all day every day.......he had all the information he could ever ask for. He just decided not to use it and run after a poorly shot deer. I'm just telling it like it is.
Let's all try and focus on the positives and not dwell on the negative.
There are no positives in this story.........even if he finds the deer it will be spoiled. Please point out all the positives you speak of.
The guy was out, legally hunting, with a tag, and a big buck surprised him. Adrienne kicked in and time started coming to a crawl. Maybe he rushed the shot, but in his moment of hypertension, he was doing everything right.
What does that even mean???
No one cares that he made a bad shot.........no one is even talking about his bad shot. Bad shots happen. His choice to ignore all common sense and what he KNEW was right and wrong is what lead to the disaster he is now in. People make bad shots all the time........the ones who not only KNOW what to do next but also have the brains and willpower to DO it are the ones that end up finding their deer even if the odds are against it. The rest just take off like wild eyed fools and run after the deer only to chase it into the next county..........then they come home and post a thread saying they feel bad and need help..........Well I am sick of seeing it EVERY year.
