Maybe you and BigSpike should get together and go to a 3D tournament or two. I will tell you that you can't shoot. Never take a questionable shot. As a hunter, you owe that to the deer. You can grunt to make one stop.


I never said I took a questionable one.
Just don't like anybody bashing someone else like they are perfect.

Bad luck does happen but most of the time it is the shooters fault. I just could not imagine loosing deer after deer.

Seeing as how you have lost 2/3 of your tags in each of the last two years, I would be hard pressed to believe you have killed more than someone has in tweny years. There is no need to throw stones, but you do need to figure out what is going on. Try a regular bow with a Muzzy. My brother and I have shot 3 so far this year that ran less than 50 yards each. Hunting is about gathering the animal for you to eat, not the buzzards and coyotes.


You don't lose tags if you don't find the deer! \:D

Sometimes it just happens. Every bow hunter that I know personally has lost a deer here and there through the years.
Although we should diligently try to recover every deer every time, I only consider it a real 'problem' when it doesn't bother the hunter to lose a deer anymore.
Personally when I lose a deer I spend a sleepless night or two feeling bad about it. Although I couldn't tell you half of the deer I've harvested, i can remember EVERY deer that I've lost.
Sometimes it's equipment, sometimes the deer just outsmarts the tracker, sometimes it's just bad luck, sometimes it's poor shot placement, sometimes it's rain on a bloodtrail, sometimes it's any number of other things.

My last 3, #1 hit a limb that wasn't seen - deer hit low on brisket. Deer lived.
# 2 doe, 12 yards turn at at the shot, one lung at best, tracked 500 yards or better.
#3 350+ lb Black Bear. 28.5" carbon express buried to the nock through both sholders. Tracked a half mile, Flat quit bleeding.

Nothing wrong with my shooting, bad luck period.
Did I give 100 percent to locate them, yes.

Point, bad luck can happen. No need to bash the new guy. He obviously wanted to get some support instead of a beatdown.

I understand that. I guess he must shoot every buck that walks by him. Part of this websites presence is to promote good hunting practices and information on how to kill mature deer from proper management.
