Sound like a lot of backpedaling after the spanking he got on this thread. Nothing in the first post would give even the casual observer any reason to beleive you are holding some high moral ground here. As already noted your first post mentioned noything of continuing the search, only of heading out hunting with a new partner.

If you really did find both deer, which I seriuosly question, my guess would be it was more by chance than any dedicated search on your part.

One other thing. A neck shot is a poor percentage shot, especially the way you and your buddy were flinging around arrows. I would hope you would limit yourselves to higher percentage shots, at least untill you can shoot more consistently.
