I never said I've done it all or done it better than anyone. I do say I have had a lot more experiences and encounters than most. What's braggart about that. As far as sanctimonious braggart, you bring to mind that old saying about the pot calling the kettle black. You always ask questions and if anyone dares give an answer that's different than your way or what you want to hear... well you belittle them like Super Dave. Honestly, you should perhaps be a little more open to suggestions or experience than you are.

The answer to your question,6 wounded and not recovered. One of those was shot by a gun a week later while chasing a doe. 2 were with the old recurve and hit the shoulder and fell right back out. One I know for sure died. If I hadn't pushed it it would have been dead where it laid down.

I'm not above reproach when I'm wrong. Just not wrong very often about bowhunting.[8D] Because I disagree doesn't make me Super Dave. Because you've wounded your fair share doesn't make me Super Dave. I've missed a handful, one this year... usually a ranging problem. Most were back in the days before range finders.

Sorry if you don't like me. Sorry if I interfere and answer your questions the way I feel they should be answered. From now in, when you ask a question just say Super Dave agrees with me and I won't have to answer. You'll get the answer you want and won't have to feel a need to belittle me so you can thump your chest for the groupies. You stay out of my way and I'll stay out of your posts.
