Bluewater, I most certainly was not talking about anyone in particular, not you. Just an observation that a LOT of folks make bad shots/hits on deer. It's been my experience over the last 50 years that a lot of folks couldn't hit the proverbial barn wall from INSIDE the barn. Only shooting they ever do is off a bench at 100 yards on paper. Never sitting or offhand shooting practice.

anyone, including myself, can, and has made bad hits on deer. It happens. Glad we have folks like CNC and others that make themselves available to those that need em, or just think they need em. thumbup


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....
