RE: Wounded/lost deer threads
As was stated before, this is a site by hunters for hunters. If we conduct ourselves based on what others think, they win. It is no different than the terrorists (which I consider the extreme antis), if you change your activities based on their actions, they win. People come on here for many reasons (brag, pout, learn, and teach). Often, it is just to talk with other like minded people. I don't think the "lost deer" threads are any worse than the bad shot threads or the Rage wound threads. It is what it is. It is a part of hunting.
Think about it this way, if a person is blasted for a poor shot or lost deer and that makes them wait for a better angle or a closer shot next time, isn't that a good thing?
