i would rather have a clean miss than have a wounded deer and not find it. and for those that miss alot and post on here, well they are just making fun of themselfs, just part of the healing process......lol..... laughter! we all miss and we all express it differently.

I would rather guys post the truth so that others will know that with weapons of time gone by, hunting isnt quite as easy as placing a scope on a deer an pulling the trigger. This year I admitted to missing --- My shots were deflected due to sapling that in the shadows simply could not be seen. My aim was true and dead on as I checked after each miss. Never have I nor any of the hunters who I personally know here, taken a shot out of their comfort zone. I can hit a 4 by 6 inch gong, at times, at 100 yards with open sites on Elisabeth. Never will I take a flintlock shot over 50 yards. That is my comfort zone for a clean kill. With my bow its under 40 yards at present. I could care less about the anti hunters and their agenda---We need to remember that if we want our guns and the right to hunt we number in the millions and better stay united. Its divided we will surely loose and fall.

Dont think that antis do not monitor HPA---they sure do and I got plenty of hate mail early on in my HPA days and had to change my ID due to the threats. Yes I still have these in written form due to the authorities reccomendations to do so. The owners here are well aware that this goes on but welcome to America. They will use 'annonomyous' account to email you if you post your email so as not to be traced. I dont think that this has gone on is many years but it did happen.

I feel I am an ethical hunter and do my absolute best to follow up---maybe a little more so than some ---possible less than others. Two years ago I lost an 8 point buck in the thickets....It took me over 2 weeks to locate him...locate him I did and still turned in the Buck Tag for the deer. How many others would you have done the same???
