Excellent post Kyle, some folks sure are quick to rip on people instead of helping.
And you think condoning that type behavior is "helping"?
Have at it.
I think it's ridiculous, personally. Like Finch....so much so it's almost GOT to be fiction. If it isn't.....then it's just sad.
Jeff,
While I somewhat scoff at the whole thing as well, I think you have to remember that he's only 18, and we all make mistakes. Ridiculing will only make him closed minded to the constructive criticism that he dearly needs. Rather than blast him for his "mistake," remind him that when people see things like this...
That they blame ALL of us HUNTERS, and it gives ALL of us a Black Eye!!!
Sutton,
The object of bowhunting is to "get close." Take each "blast" here with a "grain of salt," but for future reference, make sure you are taking shots that are well within your realistic range, and that are more "high percentage." Everytime on of the above type pictures shows up on a PETA handout, people who would otherwise be indifferent, have their opinions swayed. If you're not sure of the shot, I think waiting till morning is realistic, or at least 4-6hrs, and we all know that you are "NOT SURE OF THE SHOT!!!" Even when we are close, sometimes bad things happen, or appear to happen, ask Matt/PA.
