Muley69,
I would agree with you. I have been out of hunting for about 18 years not just bow hunting but all hunting. This is the first year for me back in a tree trying to shoot a deer with a bow. I have passed on about 15 deer not because I'm waiting for that "BIG ONE"
trust me that is not the cast. It is because I am only sure of myself out to 20 yards. I've had a lot bigger deer with in 35 - 40 yards but I can't hit that target with confidence
so I stay within my limit. My first deer this year (and it’s my first deer with a bow) was
a doe about 70lbs field dresses. It was raining that night & it took over 2 ½ hours to find her. Sure I could have given up after the first hour, but I shot that deer & was not going to
just give up.
I think some people just give up, (I’m not talking about anyone here trust me)
I talked with a guy this afternoon, he only goes after the “BIG ONES” well
this weekend his son, son’s friend and himself all shot (in his words) BIG deer.
I asked if he had any photos and he tells me they only tracked them for about 45 minutes
and could not find anything. Found blood tracked em found nothing.
I’m going to buy two copies of that book and give him one.
