Well, the truth of the matter is, he is a first year bowhunter and very inexperienced. I would have preferred to have let the deer keep walking, as I was allowing for it, but I can't control what he does. LOL
I told him I would nudge him with my foot next time if I wanted him to stop the deer. I didn't want him to feel worse than he already did, ya know? He is a new hunter with a new passion, I'd like to keep it that way.
