Jolly-R:
The fact that you are so distraught over the incident says a lot about your character. We all make mistakes- you got this one out of the way, and won't make it again. You corrected the &quot;wrong&quot; by finishing off the deer and ending is pain. <font color=red> DO NOT ABANDON BOWHUNTING! </font id=red> Did you ever play Football, Lacrosse or any other contact sport? When you get the snot knocked out of ya, the best thing you can do is get back in the game. Take your bow and go hunting at the next opportunity you have. &quot;Get back in the game&quot;. You are now a better hunter for the experience. Hopefully by telling you story, you have educated someone else who won't make he same mistake, thus helping the sport.
