- - One BAD Day (https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/bowhunting/12715-one-bad-day.html)

No one should apologize for their post....well here is something I'm not going to apologize for...

None of you were there. None of you saw the shots. None of you saw the hits. None of you saw what we saw. None of you visably saw what happened. You just know what I could describe in words on this board while I was eating before returning to the seen.

But since everyone here is perfect, and have never hit a small tree and knocked a shot high. Or since no one here has ever missed a deer, I know it must be hard for you to understand how bad of a day I had. So since I'm not f*cking perfect, I will just be on my way. Back in the woods tomorrow.

As for the deer herd here in WV. We have increased the doe permits this year do to a imbalence in the herd. So I'm sure that two does being taken down isn't going to effect anything.

But I learned some stuff from this board, and I'll take some of your advice. As for the rest, you can go to hell...well I guess you'll go to heaven since you are so perfect that you never miss a shot. Or since you never make a bad shot. Have fun shooting your deer that just fall over dead on the spot. I wish I had that kind of magical power. Would have saved a lot of walking and tracking this afternoon.

Constructive criticism is so hard on some people...LOL

As for fixing this<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

I will only say that it's childish to get up and run away from this electronic campfire for being scolded! It takes a strong man to return and admit to his mistakes and learn from them. Nobody here is going to hold anything against anybody that admits their mistakes.

Good luck to you this season!

High country,

I have made bad shots and bad decisions, I wounded two deer and have missed another as a bowhunter. Heck my very next shot may be a terrible one......but you just don't get it, so I will stop.

Gotta say Wear, didn't think much of your comment either.
Do you act the same way when someone comes at you?

Sooner. When someone comes on this board, they are open to advice, opinions, jokes(good or bad-but hopefully in good taste), criticism(as in this thread's case), ridicule, or whatever. In the end this board is here to help everyone become better hunters.(Yeah I know...GO TO OPRAH) Whatever story you post here or question you ask, you have to be ready for things you'd expect to hear as well as things you wouldn't. If I offend I'm sorry, but that's my opinion and my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yeah I don't get it. Shoot at a deer....hit a small tree and the arrow hits high. The arrow falls out and the deer runs off. You search and search. The deer starts bleeding out, and the blood trail thins, to almost nothing. What do you do? Start crying and beating yourself up over it? Or do you move on? Oh wait, you guys never make bad shots. Sorry, I guess you don't understand me now do you?

Well, wear. What else should I spect from a MO man. You entitled to it. I agree with you and disagree with you. Yes on most everything but the ridicule. That is usually, as in this case, counterproductive.

HighCountry_BruteForce:

It's not the fact that you took a shot at a deer and possibly didn't make a good hit. It's the fact that in your post it sounded so much like you both made bad shots, and just kept shooting away instead of going home, waiting for the deer to bleed out and expire, then going back. You made it sound like you were having a field day of wounding deer and not recovering them. A good percentage of us will make bad shots at one point or another due to a number of different circumstances, but it's how you respond to these different situations which will make you a better hunter and a better person.

Your responses in this topic are far from what they should be. How you respond to other peoples' criticism is just about how you responded to your bad shots taken earlier in the day.....TERRIBLE.
