Ahh.... It' s only 1 deer, there are tons more out there... It' s sad he couldn' t find it, but for me it is much more enjoyable to hunt with friends and family then alone. Even if you weren' ;t hunting together... At least you got the call to come help track... I just enjoy being out with everyone hunting, tracking, whatever... I shot a 150 inch 11 pointer right behind my buddies house, he was a lil upset he did' t get the deer... but no biggie... I set him up on a real nice 9 pointer the next year, so it all works out... Even though mine is still bigger...[:-]
