RE: Lost my first deer EVER
We've all lost a deer before...at leat one. If someone tells me they have never lost a deer I usually say....
1. They're lying
2. They haven't been hunting very long
It really does suck. I was about to put the bow down at one point. If YOU feel you've given it all you can, then feel satisfied in that. It is a terrible feeling losing an animal. Trust me, I know.
I would go read Michael Hunsucker's thread too...case in point.
