Gotcha. I didn't see the thread.
IMO if anyone is hunting legally then more power to them.Last edited by AntlerCollector; 01-11-2019, 04:36 PM.

I do not like the banter about a bow hunter needing a tracking dog, and that seems to be commonplace on here anymore. I cannot for the life of me figure out why needing a tracking dog is a bad thing. It sucks to lose any animal you wound, and to use a dog to increase your odds of finding it cannot be bad thing. You cannot compare rifle hunting to bow hunting it is two totally different methods especially traditional bow. I have lost deer and pigs I have shot with a bow and have made myself sick worrying about it.
There are a lot of good people on here that have tracking dogs and do not charge nearly enough for what is worth when the animal is found.

The tracking dog is brought up because he dropped his deer near his shot. No dog needed. But all these “ethical” hunters that dog piled him have their deer run far further than what Hoyt did. My only thoughts on the subject is stay within your means, whether that’s 20 yds or 1000 yds.
