So rain is a reason to not hunt? 
I know some of you are having fun ripping on DT, but that statement doesn't seem to make alot of sense.
What the hell were you doing bowhunting in a pouring rain anyway? we all know rain washes blood away. The more you post the more I wonder.

DT, maybe if you wouldn't have come on with all the chest pounding that you smoked him this might not be so hard. In my recovery thread I mentioned to NEVER trust what you THINK you saw, perhaps now your learning that the hard way.
Also, tracking dogs are legal in NJ, you haven't even considered them so your last ditch effort hasn't happened yet but you should have considered them earlier than now. That call should have been made last night.

sorry about your misfortune. It sucks for real! When I was tracking my doe the other week with Rob and found no blood I was upset as all hell! I knew I smoked her but the hole was plugged. We did find her foxes had ate her arse out.[:@]What I am saying is I know how you feel and it sucks! Chin up look straight ahead for good times ahead in your stand!!

And what if I wound him again ? I'd feel like a complete arse. I dont want to put him through it again.
I know it happens, but it sucks. I do hope that there are good times ahead ! Thank you.
I'm still stuck on why you wouldn't shoot the same deer if given the chance. For me, he would be public enemy #1 until hunting season was over. I would want a second chance to kill that deer.

No, but "POURING RAIN" is a reason to not hunt. I won't go in a pouring rain because I know it can significantly lower my odds of recovery on a marginally hit deer. a light rain is one thing. Pouring is a different matter
