elkaholic Report post Posted January 9, 2009 hello -- Ok Adam great job - or should I say finishing the job!- Now the question on everyone's mind !-- Why did'nt we see any pictures of the placement of the first arrow?? I for one was hoping for some kind of follow up on that first shot !! Might help to explain what you thought was a good hit ---Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Great job sticking with it Adam. Regardless of whatever else was said here, you did the right thing by A) coming to a forum like this for help, and keeping up the faith and continuing to look until you found him. You did a great job, and I'm very glad you found your buck. Once he was on the ground, what could you determine about the first hit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SitNspot Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Congratulations Adam on the great buck! I have read this forum for years and never wanted to get involved in the high school drama that incures. You will see the ones that will support you and help you. The ones that act like they were in your back pocket knowing everything that was involved at the time. The grass and twigs in front of your bedded deer the wind and the angle of the shot. I finally signed up because of the last grilling they wanted to give to a fellow hunter that has been hunting his spots throughout arizona his whole life but wanted a little help in a new unit. Do they offer help of course not they just want to tell him what he did wrong and bust out thier Professional Ethics badge. Coues N Sheep I think you are a stand up guy and always offering support. Anywase congratulation Adam and now get ready for all the support because now your so called unethical shot has turned into a congratulations on the shot man.
