preacherman Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: Questionable shots......... [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] We have another topic running here that involves a new hunter that shot a deer in the shoulder on purpose, because of some information that he saw on a TV program. Should we just tell him, "well, buck up little buddy, maybe next time it will work for you", [/ QUOTE ] Speaking of which why were 86 people happy to give thier opinions on the shot takien in the Hog thread but when a new hunter asks for advice a grand total of 5 replies were made?tell me again how were educating people in here and not criticizing them [/ QUOTE ] Amen, Horst!

Doc Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Re: Questionable shots......... [ QUOTE ] I am new to forums and was ignorant of the attacks taken by some on here. [/ QUOTE ] Do you really think the replies were attacks? All I have seen so far is a discussion on a particular shot selection. This is a discussion that can benefit a lot of hunters and one that I think is very appropriate for this forum. I think it's unfortunate that you took it all as being critical of you personally. I know in my case there was nothing personally intended. I still believe that that shot is a low percentage shot. If you do not, that's your prerogative. I would do my best to convince you otherwise, but that is certainly not a personal attack. I have never made any statements about your ethics or abilities, only comments about the effectiveness of that kind of shot. That's not personal and in fact is not an attack. All of the other replies that I have seen have been of the same nature. It is not good to view dissenting opinions as being personal attacks. I personally welcome such comments. I have learned a lot over the years that way. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
