CharlieP,

I misread his post. I thought he aimed between the shoulders, but the shot actually hit the deer further back. Indeed it was a bad shot, and I apolgize for coming off so harsh and not reading the post correctly. Having said that, I am sure he learned from it, and is his own worst critic without having to get hammered by countless hunters on this board. We should emphasize the shot was bad all we want, but I don't think "shouting" angrily at him the way some appear to be in this post is the right way to go. Give him credit for being up front with us and telling the story, and consider the incident a lesson learned.
