DFS - What you posted showed he did the right thing!!
Realized it was a questionable hit, backed out to give it time and went backed and spent 6 hours looking.
Pretty much what the Bowhunters ed course teaches and most experianced hunters subscribe to. Pushing a poorly hit deer is the best way to insure it will not be recovered.

I think everyone in here needs a hug. I did not state my information properly but if you have read my prior posts as snipe has you would learn that I previously shot a deer in the shoulder this year and did not recover him. I searched for 6 hours the following day in a similar situation as i backed out the night before. I should have been more clear with words but sentences like that should not have to be used if your not going to be a responsible hunter you shouldnt be on this forum in the first place. You shouldnt be hunting whatsoever. I respect animals more then some of my friends lol and would never leave without giving my best shot at finding a wounded animal. The animal did not choose to get shot we pull the trigger and we pull back the bows. If we cant manage tracking our game then its time to take up golf instead

People need to chill out about everything on all of these posts. By no means am i defending anyside here but what i want to say is we are all bow hunters and should appreciate the opportunities we have to bow hunt. Not every guy is perfect nor are they as experienced as other people in this forum. Im sure we have all had our fair share of questionable hits but do not rip a guy apart if you dont know the whole story. We shouldn't be ripping apart other hunters to begin with. We should all be helping one another instead of getting pissed off at one another! Help other hunters out. We as bow hunters are all in this together and we should take all of this negative attitude and use it to defend our rights as hunters and work to make the future better for other hunters. Don't turn a first year or inexperienced hunter by ripping on them for whatever they did. Help a fellow bowhunter out.....
