I really don't like to see the "lost one" threads. Mostly because 90% of the time the person doesn't listen to the most basic rules. WAIT! It ticks me off whensomeone comes on here, posts "It was almost dark, I shot a deer, not sure where I hit it, I started trailing right away. Now what do I do?" They offer no information for others to assess and help them. They often times state they took a bad shot, and pushed the deer too quickly. If they can take the time to come and ask for help, they can take 15 minutes before the season and read the tracking post that covers basic things not do wrong. Those are the times when things really irritate me.

Now if a person comes on here, states the situation they are in to the best they can describe, and haven't ran off after the deer 2 minutes after shooting it, it is MUCH easier to lend them some help.
