RE: What's your batting average?
ORIGINAL: GMMAT As responsiblestewards of the forest, it is our duty to make sure we send the fewest arrows possible at God's creatures. So you spine a deer......and it's laying right there.....20 yds away. Chances are it'll expire in a few minutes. Chances are greater it'll expire in SECONDS if you put a follow-up arrow(s) in it. So what are you promoting, again? FOUR of my 4/10 "BA" were follow-up shots on a deer I didn't even try to take, inititally (another hunter spined the deer). I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Would the deer have likely expired had I not shot the 4 arrows? YES! Did I limit its' suffering? YES! We have ONE goal when we release an arrow (or arrowS). Kill the animal as quickly as possible. I don't care if you have a 10 arrow quiver....and the 8th shot will spare the animal 5 seconds of suffering. Fire your arrow downrange. You can reference my "4-10" record repeatedly. I'm not ashamed of them, and especially not ashamed of the last 4. I injured/killed a buck this year that I didn't recover. I also clean missed a doe, earlier in the year. Beyond that.....I've killed 4 does on 4 shots....and easily recovered each of them. I'll send arrows downrange until: 1. The animal is out of range or 2. The animal has stopped moving. So where's the "virtue" in saying "I killed a deer with one shot and he died in 5 minutes" v. "I killed a deer with 4 shots and he died in 30 seconds"? Whether you know or accept it, you are still BUSTED!!! I know many people are thinking the same thing but just don't want to say it to you. Please know that. Grain of salt baby, grain of salt. HTH |
RE: What's your batting average?
Busted I was more than happy not to play....until you kept pushing. Then....you cite the numbers....implying they're bad (which I knew would also happen;)). So which is it? Fewest number of shots....or quick, humane kill....(that we're all supposed to "strive" for? You reference me and "shame"? Yeah. I'm shameful of a deer I didn't recover. Shamfulof the shot or thought process? Nope. MY goal each season is to not loose an arrow I'm not proud of. I'm SEVERAL shots into that without a blemish. Getting caught attempting to steal second is a physical error. Getting caught attempting to steal second when you're 6 runs down is a mental error. I'm gonna make physical errors. I can control the mental ones.....and I have, for a good while. You keep referencing ME making this difficult....when it was YOU who kept continually calling me out. If you didn't like what you heard.....then you knew you wouldn't like the explanation (that your thought process was extremely flawed). I don't blame you. |

Hey Jeff
If I should ever get in trouble with the law, what is your rate? ;) We are still saying the same thing. When I say fewest shots possible, there is an implied meaning that "possible" also means "neccessary". It doesn't take an intelligence quotient or more than that of room temperature to figure that out. I know you know that. You just like to talk. It shows in your post count. Not knocking, just a real web world fact. One thing I can say about you without doubt is that you are a fair man in the regard that you do not discriminate on basis of age. Anyone who is willing to exchange with you is fair game to sometimes unfair tactics be it a 17yr old or a 33yr old. Only, it's much harder to slip junk passed the older folks. At 44 you should understand. Sucker punching a 17yr old then justifying yourself afterwards is easier than if that same person were older. Trevor had you pinned and you didn't even acknowledge you'd done him wrong. That of course is because you are never wrong. At any rate, we are already in agreement. The people have spoken!!! :D |

RE: What's your batting average?
Hue....why do you feel the need to take personal shots at me? NO. Were not in agreement. "Fewest shots possible" means fewst arrows to kill the animal. to me. So you spine a deer. Would that shot kill him (one shot.....fewest possible"? Probably. How long would he suffer?
No. We don't agree. Spin it any way you want. You said "fewest shots possible". I say...."whatever it takes" to kill the animal as quickly as possible. And you KEEP trying to re-hash an old thread that had an exchange between Trevor and I. What's your intent? MY point on that thread was.....NOTHING/NOBODY has 100% approval rating (Even God don't have that;)). Implying that it's possible IS "Naive" (no matter one's age). Of course....you HAVE to know that, too....since I assume you believe yourself to be one of the ones above the "room temperature" line. If you say something stupid...I'll call you on it....be you 17, 33 or 73. You said something stupid. |

If you say something stupid...I'll call you on it....be you 17, 33 or 73. You said something stupid. I am 1/3 this year with archery and 1/1 with the shotgun. both misses were clean misses one on a doe one on a turkey |
