I hate it when someone uses this term...I had a fellow say this one evening after shooting a doe and make a half hearted effort to retrieve her...I made him go back and show me where she was and which way he thought she went...Well, she went about 250 yards and it took me 2 hours to track her...He was whining like a 12 year old the whole time, couldn't understand why I would spend so much time when it was "Just a doe"...
I haven't invited him back...
Don't be so flippant about taking a doe...It should be done quickly and efficently...

I was talking about a doe wasn't hard to kill compared to the elk I also hunt.
A 300gr Aerolite with 80 gr of BH 209 will do just fine on a doe. I don't take 200yd shots.
I would think you'd know me by now to say i'm flippant about any animal. I'm sort of pissed at that remark.

You think hunters believe what they see on TV? Funny.

I think it's funny you think people DON'T believe what they see on TV. Answer me this: Why do companies spend millions of dollars a year in advertising?
90% of the ML hunters I talk to outside these forums use the products they've seen on TV or referred to them by a friend who seen it on TV. When I ask them why they use a product I almost ALWAYS get the same response. "Well, that's what [enter TV hunter's name here] uses."

I honestly believe that a lot of the negative stories you read about PB's are hunter error. Someone claims they made a perfect shot and the animal ran away and was never found. Why should we believe they made a perfect shot if the animal got a way? He might have hit it in the butt. Butt shots don't kill.

I don't get this? Honest about what? As far as I know. he hasn't lost an animal to a PB. You can't say they aren't accurate.

I don't mean from the rear. The bullet could reach vitals from that angle. From the side.
It was a joke anyway. My point was, some of the guys just plain missed, and it's easier to blame the bullet.
I'm always suspicious of one hunter having great success, and another one having failure. It's the same bullet for both hunters.
