If you want to educate and improve the sport promoting taking shots with a 50/50 chance of recovering your deer cuz you felt like it was a good idea may not be the best way to go about that.Losing deer is a fact of life, its going to happen, losing deer because you couldnt wait for a good shot is easily avoidable.
I have yet to see GMAT give bad advise (sarcastic maybe). but point is from OP that it was a self-admitted bad shot! And then followed up by giving up(IMO) and going out to take another risky shot! Call it what it is people! If there are people looking for advise here, then dont criticize the person giving it!
