c903 - Gary Donald told me the story was written as Zaft told it. The NAW article was in first person.

Here is what I believe. Zaft allowed NAW to do an article. He told it like it was. Then he got bashed bigtime for taking a poor shot, not trailing it harder, losing it etc etc. The BBM article was written to sugar coat the story, to change it around enough to make it sound more ethical and believable that the deer was recovered not by a fluke of farmers luck but by searching for it. P&Y hadn't accepted the score at that time, I thnk he was worried that it'd find enough what ifs to decide against making it the new #1, the icon of archery. Guess it worked too, but P&Y took big hits for it.
