Trust me it could be worse....I have had 19 P&Y's in bow range since my first encounter at the age of 15 and I have never killed one. I had a true giant get away only to be killed by a rifle hunter and make the cover of North American Whitetail. There is nothing quite like that sick feeling in your gut. I am hopeful one day soon I will know what the other feeling is like.
Don't give this guy advice, get some. If you haven't learned how to put it together after the first few...you (obviously) never will.

Great Guy
First, I never asked for advice. Second I had my first encounter with a P&Y at the age of 13. All I have done is bow hunt since I was 13 years old. I am 32 now and I have had some amazing experiences in the woods. I had the privilege to be taught how to hunt by some great Archery only whitetail hunters. Should I have killed a P&Y by now absolutely. But my life is not dependent on the size of the rack I have on my wall, but much more important things.

Look, I'm not wanting to pour salt into a wound here, take my comments as trying to pump someone up to get'r done, not demean a person.
