Took a shot

[grundy53]

So many experts here, wow, maybe a couple of you can write us a book, so we can learn how to be expert deer hunters.

Good luck Bug.

I'm sorry and don't mean to offend anyone but it doesn't take an expert to figure out heavy rain will wipe out any blood trail if left over night. Hope they found the deer and I hope the meat was still good.

I just hope for the sake of the animal and the young girl that they were able to find it and salvage the meat. Just sounded like a goofy story to me, sorry if some of you feel I may have helped to ruin her experience.

I am not sure anyone intended to ruin anyone hunting experience, especially a young hunter.  I do however believe that this sight has gotten a little out of control with such strong personalities and just down right rude comments.  If you want to state your opinion take a step back and think about HOW you are stating that opinion before you hit POST.   You can just about say anything and if constructively written not have be offensive. 

Two things to remember:
1.  You were not there and don't know all the circumstances:  Post your opinion, but remember unless you are / were there your opinion is based off your experiences and not others.  Just because you experienced something at some point in your life doesn't make it right for every circumstance that other face.  Like I tell the people I work with and train, "there is 1000 ways to skin a cat; and 999 of them are correct ways."
2.  I've been teaching my 5 year old daughter this one.  The GOLDEN RULE; if you don't want to be treated or talked to a certain way, then don't do it to others.  I notice a lot of you want to dish out the criticism, but when someone else criticized you you get offended.  Guess what....the is the GOLDEN RULE  and KARMA at work. 

Please be nice or for heavens sake, don't post at all. 

Sorry for the rant, but I like others have noticed this site going down hill lately.

this person needs to remember how many perfect people are on here and never make a bad shot....every deer they have ever shot falls in its tracks because they are perfect ok! next time you go hunting you need to take lessons on how to be perfect from some of the perfect people on here

I agree with you and that is the very reason I decided to quit posting or debating this topic with other members. I truly hope the young lady was able to find her buck this morning because I think losing an animal would be more devastating to young hunter.

I am a new member and posted a story with pictures.,  everything went good with my hunt so I didn't receive any negative feed back. After reading this and many other posts I am not sure I want to be a member of this site. I guess nobody else has ever had less than perfect hunting experience.

I really think this election has got guys testy ! It's very easy to arm chair hunt . the reallity is the rain sucks and can make desissions tough.

Wouldn't matter anyway, even if it was the perfect shot and died right there. Half of them would snivel about the bullet and what he was wearing.

So, we found no deer.       Four of us grid searched the area for quite a while.  The hunter's dad felt like it did not act like it was hit so decided to wait in case it was a bad hit.  Possibly the hunter pulled the shot in her excitement.  She feels bad about having maybe wounded and not recovered it and will probably use this experience as a learning one.

So for those of you that were supportive, thank you, for some others, whatever, and for those that might be pursuaded not to post something that is not perfect or a question they have that might make them look bad, please don't give up on this site as there are a lot of good people here that are willing to offer constructive and helpful advice.

Any other details on this will be left to the young hunter to add.

  I was hoping it would turn up this morning    It happens to the best, sorry bugg

Had my fingers crossed and have been checking all day for the update....Keep you chin up, there is always another deer on another day.

Have they shot the gun since to see if it's even close? 65yards with a rest and a clean miss.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the end result of this thread will be less "dog piling".
