RE: I wonder..............
"Let he who has never wounded a deer cast the first stone..."
From what I've been told it's an almost certainty that at some point in our lives this will happen. I find it odd that people have the mentality that it won't happen to them. There are far too many variables that are out of our hands. You may shoot 1" groups consistently and still have a deer flinch right before you shoot, hit a thin branch you can't see from 25 yards, have a fly land on your nose as you pull the release.... There's just too many things that can happen to really blame someone for this I think.
Now, on the reverse side, taking shots from 45 - 50 yards with a #50 bow, that's inexcusable. Shooting through bushes cause you see something moving, there is alot that we can control too. Let's just hope we use our common sense out there.
