Guys, really?

The arrow can't be taken back. There is a deer with an arrow in her or through her:eek:

Bad shot selection, no doubt. But I'm pretty sure if you shoot at a deer you can't take it back in mid air. It's done.

So why don't we help point out HOW to go about it, instead of bringing up his INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE shot selection.

Just sayin'

Any reason you aren't out there right now, sutton?

Excellent post Kyle, some folks sure are quick to rip on people instead of helping.

First step is go and look for your arrow, that will tell you a lot. I would get your dad and go have a look at the blood and see what that tells ya, an extra set of eyes is a big plus! Please keep us updated, good luck!

Yes, you're right. That arrow can't be taken back but this "constructive criticism" might prevent another situation such as this. It's almost one of those "its to bad to be true stories."

And you think condoning that type behavior is "helping"?

Have at it.;) I think it's ridiculous, personally. Like Finch....so much so it's almost GOT to be fiction. If it isn't.....then it's just sad.

I agree with GMMAT. Constructive criticism can help! Especially with a shot that is so unethical it gives all hunters a bad name. Regardless of whether you don't have any deer in the freezer or don't have have many days to hunt, taking an unethical shot and risking wounding an animal is unacceptable.

Condoning?

I'm not condoning anything. What can be done, besides helping finding the doe with a hole in her.

It was a shot that shouldn't have been taken, but it was. Even the reasoning behind the shot was wrong!

Now the deer needs to be found. You've said it a thousand times, and I concur, the deer deserves better than that.

There's no reason that is right for taking that kind of shot. Personally, I struggle with the reason for this post. IF it has a reason at all it is to give motivation to get back out there and find that deer. There already was a mistake made, that can't be undone. Don't make a second by not giving it everything you can to get that buck.

Kyle....

Only one thing to be done, now.....and if he's here typing....he ain't doing it.;)

He don't need encouragement and "It'll be fine". He needs to go find that deer.
