RE: make me feel better
I've wounded one animal in 20 years of bow hunting so i've been real fortunate so far. When i was 16 i hit a bear in the foot (Leg bone) and the arrow went in about a 1/2" or so. During the blood trail about 200 yards from where i hit him he dug up a bee hive in the ground so we then quit tracking him knowing that he was ok. Its a bummer when a person wounds a deer gun or bow hunting but thats part of hunting! As long as a person is doing it ethicly then it isn't so bad but there's always them bad apples out there who year after year are doing this and taking stupid and bad shots and not having any ethics in there hunting and then going to the bar and bragging about the deer they didn't find. Some things are better left then said with these type of folks, there just making the rest of us look bad!
