Most wouldn't have the"stones" to post with the brutal honestly Jeff has shared with us.
I read them all.

The “Every Shot” threads were an idea I thought up a few months back. I thought I could learn from each arrow loosed….and I thought it would be interesting to see that someone would actually report on each one, honestly. I don’t think our internet personas match our real-life ones, sometimes. I wanted it to be “real”.
Little did I know it was going to be such a tough go. But…I have truthfully (sometimes painfully) told of each shot….and what ensued, afterwards and before. I learned some things….some others likely learned through my mistakes. The last thing I learned from them is…..I don’t need to keep doing so….if it’s simply a punch line in someone’s joke arsenal. Whatever happened to just skipping over a thread?
It was real, though. I appreciate all those who supported what I was doing….but I think (know) it’s run its’ course, for me. Back to hunting being “personal”. I found out how involving others in my hunting could be when I invited some guys to shoot does in my woods.A select fewunderstood and accepted, willingly.....others ridiculed the gesture. End result....I now hunt, alone.
Good luck to all. This can die, right here.

I could learn just as much from many people telling stories of wounded deer or hard track jobs on deer than just one, I guess I'm indifferent.

I think it started out like Babe Ruth pointing to the fence. I also think it turned into a humbling learning expierence for Jeff. There is no room for arrogance in hunting live wild animals. Personally I think Jeff has matured as a hunter. With his athletic background (baseball, golf), at high levels, its easy for a guy to think hunting would be much the same. You have to tame that competive edge with deer hunting, thats what makes this sport (passion) so unique. There are no slam dunks until the deer is in your hands. People do learn from his thread but most of all and best of all Jeff has.

I guess I'm for it because it plainly shows that it's not as easy as it sounds. To keep doing it after making some painful mistakes take a lot of courage. His honesty demands respect!
