I understand that there are many people here new to bowhunting as well as many well seasoned veterans. However, call me crazy on this one but shouldn't you know these things before you step in the woods? I mean somethings are obviously not common knowledge but many things are. I'm not trying to stir up a hive of bees but as I was reading this forum I got a little irritated. Mainly with these 2 comments "So I just decided to draw on him all the while thinking I shouldnt. I had a easy shot opportunity at 15 yards but decided to wait I dont know why I did but then I was like "I had better shoot" so I did regarless of the fact that there were branches in the way so I arrow went flipping as it hit some branches and the buck ran off a ways so I grunted to him and he came back. " and of course the "Then three mins later three does came out and I knew that this deer was too far but I shot anyway.". If you know the deer is too far, you don't just shoot and say "what the heck". It's one thing to make honest mistakes.....setting up in the wind wrong, making noise going to the stand, or even makin noise in the stand. But to deliberately shoot at a deer knowing its too far just for the hell of it?? Or shooting at a deer knowing you didn't have a clear shot??? This really irritates me. Theres something really wrong with this picture. Sorry for any mixed feelings on this but I feel it needed to be said.
I understand what you are saying and theyre isnt anything that will make me feel worse than the fact that I took a risky shot at one of Gods creatures. My actions were completely unsportsmans like and I know it. I will say it now and I will probably say it again. I am sorry. And There is nothing that can make me feel worse.
