I hate to keep this going.

How the heck does a deer know if he is on public or private land.

How does where you hunt justify taking what 99.9% of the hunting populationview as a poor shot choice.

I also think you under estimate the amount of good people on this forum. We are not perfect but I know many of will admit when we have made a mistake in the woods. When a bad shot is made it isn't followed by a post boasting about it. It is generally followed by a post that starts out something like " I am sick to my stomach" because we know when we screw up.

Funny how so many people can be wrong about there opinions.

Good luck in the future. May your luck never run out for the deers sake.
