There was only one man present at the time the shot was taken. Ultimately he is the one that has to figure out what went wrong, learn from it, and forever avoid that scenario again..........just like WE ALL DID.
I won't argue that VC, but whereas some folks post and say "dang it, I hit and lsot a deer " and build on the WHY the deer was lost, GroundHunter says he'd take the shot again, it was the equipments fault etc etc. Thats the impression I get - so the "figuring out, learning and avoiding" doesn't seem to be happening.
Editing the posts to change teh scenario don't help either !
If you can make long yardage shots, take them. If you TRY to make those shots and fail, I think that strongly hints to NOT take those shot again.
