I know what I am typing is prob. not considered " legal" by topic on the bowhunting site but it is important.---
I have been here for awhile now and watched many new members join us. Many of these are young or inexperienced hunters who are trying to learn how to hunt and look up to us as members. They see the posts and the pictures, hear the advise we give and want to contribute. ---
They for whatever reason make a mistake, maybe they take a shot they shouldn' t have, maybe wound an animal, mess up tracking... whatever. ---
I have noticed that some of the responses continue to degrade and rip these people. Everyone makes a mistake. I have been doing this for over 20 years and still make them all the time. I would agree everyone has the right to thier opinion and this is a public forum, but we also need to remember that stated opinions can hurt. Many people come here to learn. They post mistakes and get ripped. Not by everyone but by a few. They then do not post thier mistakes again. For some this may be the only way they have to learn from them. ---
Please take into consideration that you may be typing to someone who is alot more inexperienced than you as well as alot younger. ---
