RE: How did everyone do?
I absolutely agree. If you can't be confident that the first shot will make a clean ethical kill. Don't take it! It's YOUR responsiblity to know YOUR limitations.
BUT, I don't think attacking Nine Point Buck personally and insulting him (her?) is the thing to do (See rules.......and think about it).
Good hunting wished to all.
Say a prayer and say thanks to the Lord at the harvest of all game.
