Here's the thing. Is it the same people year after year that need help? Or week after week? It's the newer members for the most part. One MAJOR contributor to the new hunters in the woods not knowing what they are doing is they have very few if anyone people or friends to tell or show them what they need to do. I blame alot of it on the archery dealers who sell the newcomer to the game whatever they want. Most..NOT ALL..but most of em out there are there to make a buck, or as many bucks as they can. My first setup I bought was sold to me as "everything I would need to be able to bowhunt." A year later or so after stumbling into a a new friend who ran an archery shop and range I found out that what I had was straight poop. KE was horrible, broadheads were very cheap, bow was extremely slow and loud, and the bow was cheap..very cheap. Who knows how long I would have hunted with this if I didn't run into this guy. I knew nobody who bowhunted or knew anything about it.
Eitherwho, Anywho, or whateverwho, I still think it's great that people come here asking for help when they don't know what to do. The book will help, but it won't answer everything that 70,000 + members with Millions of years of combined experience can do.

I still think the success percentage is much greater of those who come and ask questions vs. those who don't ask and end up giving up because they didn't think that the deer may have gone for water to soothe the burning in its gut, or whatever....
