Alright, I can't sleep... for several different reasons. So I pop in Tom Miranda's bowhunting encyclopedia, I've always thought I liked or sort of liked this guy anyway. I'm on hunt 11 of 15 and have some different ideas now.

Here are some of my thoughts/observations:

1. Forcing Shots- He's mentioned it at least twice (that he "forced" the shot)since I've been sitting here. That's something that I personally don't agree with at all.

2. Short recovery- He's said on two different occassions that a deer went over 200 yards and that's "Not far." He keeps at it saying, "If you make the right shot, they won't go far, only a couple hundred yards."

3. Moving Shots- This is something that I rarely do unless conditions are absolutely perfect and it certainly doesn't happen on deer over 20 yards. He's shot several deer that were on a brisk walk at best.

I'm not going to knock the guy, he's killed way more big deer than I have... no question. But I wonder how many of his forced/moving shots have translated to lost animals.

Any thoughts?
