Ya it was a real bad year for animals. I am not going to be taking anymore passed 60 anymore. I have made a few humdingers. I just agree there are wa to many variables at extend ranges. I have herd way to many times I hit him right behind the shoulder @ 60+ yards and hallowed deer for2 days. He'll with that. I will leave that for a few I know. I killed everything this year under that so I can do it again next year.

JustinC..... I'm sorry your seeing more stuck deer out there. Now you and I are of similar experience... as i've said b4... I've lost acces to areas because owners are seeing deer that are walking stuck wounded... and thats pretty bad stuff!!! Yea, it wasn't me, but I suffered for what others have done. If only you knew how prime the area I used to bow hunt wai/is.... it makes me cringe. Ya, I can still rfle hunt it, but thats a totally different hunting experience.... way different set of goals/challenges and pleasures. Rifle hunting here is no challenge for me and probably most AO members deer or elk!
I won't do a 40 yard shot anymore. Yup my bow could easily whack to 60+ and I stump and target out to that range (im pie plate size accurate at 45-50... which isnt great i guess)... Through experience, I recognise that theres too many factors that I just can;t control.
AND I owe it to my other 'archer brothers' out there not to contribute to what I see is a big big and growing problem.
I gotta regulate my own behaviours.
I encourage other archers ro regulate theirs.. your actions affect me and others, so we gotta be responsible together.
