Without reading all the replies all I can say is I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed that the thread starter had to lie for his friend. I am ashamed at his friend for putting him in the situation. I am ashamed at some of my fellow brothers in bowhunting for their comments and bashing one another when this man finally stood up and took some respondsibility.

To the thread starter, stand up and do the right thing NOW! Learn from your mistake and have a sit down with your friend, if he still is.
