<font color=red>&quot;So, you do not take the time to find your arrow that you fully believe hit a deer before you blow off another shot?</font id=red>

If the arrow is one that I &quot;fully believe hit the deer&quot;, I've got one chance to put another arrow in the air to try to finish it off, and that chance is going to evaporate any second...no, I don't. Why would I? I already &quot;fully believe&quot; I hit the deer.

BTW, I took his account of the events at face value. If I had thought for a second that he was BS'ing and trying to brag about taking a 110 yard Hail Mary on an unscathed animal...I'd have flamed him like a burnt marshmallow on a stick.

I hate to say this jolly but you deserved to get drummed on that shot. To say it was stupid is a understatement. The fact that so many agree with what you did is very disturbing. It was at the very least unethical and irresponsible. I would be running my hunting partners in the ground for that type of behavier.
At least you have taken the time to rethink your actions and maybe you need to do a little research on deer anatomy and get a better understanding on how the deers shock and immune system works. The deer can and do survive alot of wounds most hunters would suspect as fatal.
Don't spend anymore time defending what you thought was the right call at that instance. It just doesn't jive with the &quot;I feel guilty&quot;. I do believe from your post that you do have genuine regrett and remorse for your actions.
The only good thing that has come from this is your a little wiser than before the shot.
Its easy to admit wrong in an anonymous setting though. Kind of wondering if your toteing the same remorse with you around your friends and family.
Not judgeing you Jolly, just not real fond of what you did.
Hope you have a good season Aaron.

It is not what I would of done, but it was a split moment decision that was made in the hopes of putting a thought to be wounded deer down.

I think its clear Jolly is not happy with his decision and thats good enough for me.

Worse things have been done by greater men

I would assume that if you two had been present when Christ asked the crowd that &quot;he who is without sin cast the first stone&quot; you would have started chucking stones!

Taz,
Don't know whether to be hurt or honored. You either quoted me from the High Country posts or Plagarized me. LOL. Either way it don't matter cause you just said what I was thinking.

As to those guys....I believe they were abused children.
