Default RE: 2 Bucks in 1 week

Wow. Good job on jumping down my throat Bowdaddy. Bravo.

I think I was pretty reserved with what I said to begin with and you guys go getting all defensive. Nice.

I still have a problem with the fact that he could not tell if this deer was a buck or a doe when he shot at it because, in his own words, the light was getting too low. I don't know how the laws in NJ work, but here in IL we have until one half hour after sunset to shoot. Up until the end of legal shooting hours you can easily tell the difference between a buck and a doe. So even if you guys think its okay to just toss an arrow into any random deer standing in the woods, it was most likely still past shooting hours.

As far as the shot itself....it was a spine shot, great. One of those lucky bad shots that kills a deer in its tracks. Again, I PERSONALLY don't agree with taking anything less than a sure shot, but to each their own. The deer is in the freezer now and that's all that matters.

I'm not one to really throw stones at people, but that's just what I think. I'm glad he got a shot, I'm glad he retrieved the animal, and I'm glad he's got the meat on the table. That doesn't mean I have to agree with the way it was harvested.

Take it for what its worth.
