Steve, I am not disagreeing with you, In fact I agree That it may shed negative light for people who choose to read into things. We know there isn't any shortage of them people in NY, that's probably why hunting is declining here.
Perhaps those people need to be brought over to my buddies farm. There is a doe who had 3 fawns this year. All 3 are dead and she has wounds all over her. He's a Biologist and said coyotes killed the fawns and wounded the doe. I'll take his word for it.
I dont know exactly where I'm going with this except, wounding deer is natural, It happens and it isn't only inflicted by humans. People who assume missing means wounding and look poorly upon hunting are already anti-hunters. Yeah I know theres no reason to get them riled up but then again there's no reason to talk to them anyhow since I am not skilled in the area of rhetoric enough to change their opinions. But I also think that when talking about what we love, we shouldn't have to walk on egg shells, we just need to be respectful and tasteful.
You are right Steve when you say there is nothing funny about wounding deer. It kills me to hear of people giving up as soon as they lose blood. It also irritates me to no end when I hear guys talking about deer hunting in public places when they say things like "I blasted it" or "I shot that M.F.er in the ass" words like blitzed or wasted, waxed and rittled or emptied my clip and shot its legs off.
these kinds of conversations are what brings a bad taste to peoples mouths, they certainly do mine.
