RE: This has become the "I wounded one" forum
The forum is here to discuss bowhunting. We don't talk about tracking a deer just hit in the middle of July. It is now season. Tracking, wounding, and killing are part of the hunt whether we want to accept it or not. I am not ashamed of talking about this part of the hunt and will not coward in the corner because of some anti peta freak lurking about. This is my 24th season of hunting. I've tracked many deer over the years and have had some unique experiences in which I've gained some cool knowledge from. Part of the reason I joined this site was due to the common ground we as hunters have in discussing every facet of the hunting experience, and ultimately learning. I am not an expert by any stretch, but will stretch out my hand for those that ask for advice. No, we can't determine the exact hit or find a deer over the net, but if anything else, it supports those that need a pick me up, encourages the young or inexperienced hunter to go back out and look for different things, and most of all, helps people learn and grow as a hunter. What is wrong with that? I hunted alone almost all of last season, and 98% of my season this year will be by myself. I find this place to be a virtual campfire at times. Nothing wrong with that either.
