I request by PM that we take this off line. I also asked you for your phone number so we can talk this thru. But you keep responding publically, Why?
Chap, I responded to you in PM. The answer I got is that between you and your son, six deer were maimed in just one year. One year, lets all let that soak in. It is not just some monster buck of a lifetime, itsthe systematic maiming of six deer in only one year. I was also told "in private" that you think there is a "PB Crisis" and that you are on a theme of "PB Bashing" Why don't you say that in public, six deer, PB Crisis, theme of "PB Bashing"? It gives context to your posts here.
I honestly don't think I can respond any better to this response than to share my coorespondence which outlines my passion about it.

Would you really like to know why I am so passionate about it? Because I know we are allows by traditional set of rules, ONLY, a three inch miss. That's it. No more. You seem to disregard this rule. Toread you wounded 6 deer only stirs more passion within me. It show to me that it is you who is in crisis, not America, and you are in denial as well.
Its downright easy to miss by 3" at 120 yards in a crosswind. Awfully easy. Its easy to hit brisket or guts. If you can't hit a 6" pie plate in the conditions that you are shooting in, please don't take the shot. That kind of hunting isn't what I was taught. I have to say, you are going to lose more deer if you don't resolve to only take shots you have 95% confidence you will miss by no more than 3"
I've grown very weary of this so I'm not commenting further on it.
Bottom line, you think it was me. I think it was the PBs. I know of the 3" rule. I get most of what I aim for most of the time with bow, muzzie, FLand rifle. I have had a very bad experience with PB and honestly didn't know why I wasn't getting the animal for for "America's Favorite Bullet". I know why now, they fragment. I am very weary of defending myself from you.I do not take shots that I am not sure of 100% of time, I take good shots that I can make or they walk. I have many many times let bucks go that I didn't have a good shot with, so you charge that I take poor judgement shots is NOT accurate. I was UNAWARE of the reputation of PB to fragment. I was unaware that you couldn't push them with 3 pellets, so am I unethical or immoral for being unaware?
I am weary of defending myself.Chap
