Txcowboy, I think bashing and critisism are being confused here. (before we go any further I have never bashed anyone on here and never responded to any " lost deer" posts). I think that people are getting mad because someone writes in and says " I looked for an hour, couldn' t find it, what should I do?"

There just needs to be more communication. More info on the guys that are looking for their deer. How good of a shot are you? What ranges do you practice at?

...and from the responses: " Ok, you shouldn' t have taken that shot, but since you have this is what you should do. And remember not to take that shot again"

No bashin' , just learnin' . Where' s the love man??????
