Sometimes the arrow looks like it hit perfectly, but for some unknown reason, misses vital organs.
If it misses vital organs then it didn't hit perfectly. It may have "looked" like it did but by definition it didn't.
I think most of us have been there- losing or almost losing a deer, and I think if we are honest with ourselves, we can say whether it was our fault or not.
I'm not blaming anyone here. I just think we should take responsibility when an animal suffers and accept that we didn't do it right. IMO it's ALWAYS our fault when an animal suffers because of our action. Who else is responsible?A huntermay have done everything to the best ofhisability butthehunter is still responsible. I would use a golf analogy. The golfer strives for par which is always in reach if he does it right. In deer hunting, par is a dead deer seconds after you shoot. If you are playing bogie golf you accept that you are not as good as you could be and youwork atgetting better. Should be the same in hunting but I think a lot of times we make excuses rather than face our short comings.
