RE: One BAD Day
The problem as I see it is; shooting at another deer before recovering the first. If the intention was to look after lunch, why compound your problems by shooting at more deer? It seems you started tracking way too soon. Especially after jumping the doe out of a bed once. Had the deer been left to bed longer, it would most likely have been found there, expired. There is no indication you intended to look for the deer any further in the first post. Luckily you somehow found the two deer, right?
Sooner, I admire your courage of conviction in defending HighCountry. I don't, however, feel it was deserved. If you see something other than what sounds like a couple guys taking a walk, flinging arrows, point it out to me.
James, I think in Taz's post he proposed that the first deer went down in sight, if memory serves me correctly. That makes a difference when considering taking a second.
I can't imagine shooting at more deer, when I have two already hit and not recovered. Can't imagine it with one hit.
