I don' t usually post on these types of threads, I like saving my few posts for congrats threads, but thought I' d throw my 2 cents in.

When I first read the post, I looked at the screen funny. " How could Bow have the best hunt ever when he watched the elk run off with the arrow in him?" " How can he sound so positive about the management hunt when his wife and daughter had to suffer the terrible feeling of losing an animal?"

I can' t answer these questions, only Bow and his family can. I know there is so much more to the story, so I' ll wait till you log back in and answer the questions here before making judgement. Even as a moderator here, I' ve been chewed a new one after losing a grizzly bear, and have a good idea at how Bow will feel when he logs back on and reads through this thread.

I hope to hear some resolve of this issue, but it has blown up without him even explaining. I think it' s time to lay it to rest, and see if he cares to explain after all this.

He sure had made alot of positive, ethical and moral posts when he came back after his hiatus, wonder if he really meant them?

Come on Bow, log back on and step up to the plate. I like to try and give everybody the benefit of the doubt.
