I agree. White hair like that is usually a bad sign. The hit was likely in the brisket, or possibly the rear of the front leg. With either of those hits a deer will go a long way and may live for a day or two, and may even recover from a leg hit.

Don't pay him any attention, he likes to stir the pot every now and then. Maybe he thinks everyone is a sharp shooter!?!?!?

Maybe you think everybody is a lousy shot, and can't track? Not everybody loses animals. That's a fact.

The majority yes, but not everybody. That was my only point, and I proved it.

The only thing you proved is that people state they have never lost an animal. That proves nothing. For example, I have a yellow unicorn in my backyard that defecates $100 bills. I said it so it must be true, correct?

I guess it's easier to call someone a liar than believe they've done something you didn't.

I'm done with this.

Pete: This reminds me of a thread this month on another website I'm on where a kid killed a huge bull in the Wyoming late season. He showed two pictures of the bull and said he had quickly taped the main beam and it was close to 61", which is a heck of a bull. One of the members that is known to be an argumentative douchebag came on and said there was no way it was that long and guessed the score at 345". He took a great thread that everyone was congratulating the guy on into the crapper. The kid got the boiled skull back from the taxidermist so he can do a DIY Euromount and it scored 369". He then put a measuring tape on one beam and taped it there to keep it in place. He then took a couple pictures and it was 1/8" shy of 61". The jackass who ruined the thread still maintains the bull isn't that big and the beams aren't that long. I've seen the same thing on buck threads on this and other sites where a guy ends up having his rack scored and people come on and say no way is it that big. Some people just can't admit they're wrong and would argue the sun is the moon and vice versa! Such is life and I wouldn't let it bother me.

AMEN BROTHER!!!!!

In case you didn't read closely what I posted prior to that one of mine that you quoted, here is my message: I'm in Pete's camp on this one and not yours, LOL!

He wasn't talking about me. That's the problem with forums. Too much misunderstanding, and too many guys who are quick to jump on someone when they have no clue what's being said.

Well I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but maybe you need to reread your own post. You talked about a nay sayer and that seems to be what this guy is. Seems every time someone posts he has to turn it around and make himself the subject instead of the OP thread! So when you started talking about that other thread, I immediately think of Muley _ Sorry!

And if that isn't clear for you here is wha the OP felt about how his thread was going. Maybe this will make it a little more clear.
