Where didI say I want to give up om hunters ed? Hunter Ed is a start, butwe should all help out the youth hunters and further their hunting education.

We all do not have the hunting skills of the great Atlasman.
Knowing BASIC anatomy of a deer is a skill??
Yep I beleive top 20% our here
I am glad your a such a fine example of the members on HNI willing to help other hunters out.
Myopia describes you to a tee. Perfect word for you Atlas, LOL

We are not all 'perfect'--let those without sin, cast the first stone.
I really think that the world would be a better place if we all were to live together and help each other. JMHO.

You guys all know which end of a gun the bullets come out of right?

What you are failing to see is that a certain basic knowledge is required to do anything properly.
How does one acquire that, Atlas? Did you know that five minutes after birth? Let me see.. Mom gives birth, the nurse snips the umbillical cord, and baby Atlas looks up and says "aiming at a broadside deer low and just behind the crease of his front leg should not only catch the heart, but both lungs too..." That would be a heck of a mouthful for your first words...
No, as preposterously ridiculous as it may sound, I'm willing to wager that the knowledge you possess was GASP! learned somewhere!

I've been bowhunting for nearly 25 years now. I feel I have a pretty good grasp of what a deers antomy is pertaining to where things are when I send an arrow through the animal. When I don't see the animal go down, I come home and collect my thoughts and give the animal time. I have this anatomy site in my bookmarks and I pull it up to review it and double check my thoughts. I'm glad someone took the time and posted the thread years ago so I could review it. I wasn't a newbie then when I bookmarked it. I think it's a great review and a reminder.

You're right; to do something properly, it helps to have knowledge.

Because, as Atlas has pointed out time and time again, Hunter's Education is required in every state in order to go out and hunt.
Wait. That's wrong isn't it? Yeah, it is. Hunter's Education isn't required in every state. Hunter's Education is nothing more than a firearms safety course here in Washington. I can honestly say that no time was spent learning the anatomy of the animals I would be encountering in the wild.

Of course it was Greg! Hunter's Education!

Atlas is the greatest deer hunt here, he shot a doe, OOPS I mean mature buck, OOPS, I mean a spike last year. No way I can measure up to him, LOL

A deer hunter should know BASIC anatomy......not just "aim behind the shoulder"
What would you say to a turkey hunter (gun) who didn't know he had to shoot for the head???.........Pretty BASIC huh??.......same thing.

That's right.......it was learned. From my dad as a boy and then through hunter education classes, gun and bow, and PLENTY of initiative on my own out of respect for the animals I was going to hunt. I am not about to apologize for being a responsible, educated hunter........nor do I have any desire to sugar coat the embarrassing actions of those who sleep through the hunter ed classes or just have a "buddy" get them a stamp and then go out and shoot something in the guts and cry here that they did't find it.

Because they should already know it?
But wait, you didn't automatically know it either, you had to learn it somewhere.
Where can it be learned? Here on HuntingNet.
But they should already know it.
Which is why it's posted here for them to learn from.
But it shouldn't be here. They should already know it.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound, Atlas? Of course not, you're the wisest and the most knowledgable of us all.
Lets all give Atlas a round of applause for being HuntingNet's go-to guy for anything you ever need to know about deer hunting.
(Unless of course that goes for judging a deer's gender before you take a shot at it, then you might want to ask someone else.)
