Jolly we actually need more hunters like you out there, the fact that you openly admit that a 70 yard shot was wrong shows that you have learned from a mistake. Obviously you are an ethical hunter who made a mistake and will learn from it. Most important of all is the fact that you did recover the deer. I(knock on wood)have been very fortunant over the years and only had to use a second shot on one animal, and that shook me pretty bad. Just one more note on myself, I have not had a bowkill yet, so I hope that by forcing my self to limit my shots to 20 yards and under(25 if deer is still and broadside)that I will still be able to say only one took more than one shot.
