I don't feel any need to confirm anything to you or anyone else. I couldn't care less about your pat on the back nor do I give a crap about what you think. I want to know who died and made you the hunting GOD? F,YOU! When you've walked a mile in my shoes, you still won't be qualified to judge me. If you are calling me a lier, believe what ever you want to believe, the truth is I had a quartering away shot, I put the pin on his heart and what I said happened, happened. I don't feel I need to impress anyone and lieing doesn't save anyones ass, just makes a bad thing worse.

I'm sorry I had a hard time concentrating on what I was writing that night, those of you that have shot a deer and had trouble finding it right away, had to go home to return later, should understand being a little scatter brained under the same conditions and realize how impatient I was to go back out and find my deer. I tried writing just to take up time so I wouldn't get back too soon which is a mistake I've made before, tracking too soon. Thats how I lost 2 other deer to coyotes in years past. My title was kind of stuck in my head because of the shock of seeing my arrow sticking straight up, when it should have been a pass through nowhere near the backbone. The fact that the buck got up and walked off left a confusing immpression that rattled around my head all the way home and all the way back trying to figure out what happened. Out of all the deer I've shot over the years I've never had one jump my string, never even had a shot that I didn't know exactly where I hit until this one. I was really upset.
Sinse you all are such experts and are so much more experienced than I am, one would think you'd understand the adrenalin and emotions involved and the uncertainty of a wounded animal and the torment involved with trying to wait it out. One of the pm's hit the nail on the head saying,
"some of these guys are like flys on stink and think they are the only ones
who have ever shot a deer. Sometimes were surrounded by a bunch of
experts who have shot less deer than we have."


Anyone who would choose to believe I or any other experienced bow
hunter would aim at the spine on a quartering away shot is a
bigger idiot than I am for not proof reading my original post.
Some of you were smart enough to figure that out right away.
Others I'm convinced have no clue, just here pretending to be
great hunters. Making 1000 posts doesn't make anyone a hunter,
just makes you a computer geek. You want real proof of a hunter,
look in the freezer, not online. Think I'm a lier? Talk to my
son, he don't know how to lie, and he'll tell you we've eaten a
lot of venison that dad has killed & brought home. Ask my friends,
they'll tell you I live to hunt and take it very seriously.
My gun hunting friends would never bet against me and my
NEF single shot 30-06. I take great pride in 1 shot 1 kill no
matter if gun or bow. No one until now,no where but here, have
ever accused me of being unethical. Scatter brained? yes but
not unethical. People who know me also know I'm brutally honest.
If I was aiming for the spine, I'd say so and take my lumps like
the man I am. If you doubt that, then I have nothing more to say,
you aren't worth the effort.
