RE: found a dead six pointer
that is exactly what i did. Actually, i used them yesterday afternoon while i was hunting. They have a real good sound eventhough one point is broken off each of them.

bad shots happens and is a fact of hunting. if u dont practice and then go hunting and make bad shots, that is another story. anyone can make a bad shot no matter how much practice. practice makes it less likely

Yes it not a good feeling when you find a deer in this state and all kind's of question's run through your mind about the buck's demise,but as Charlie has said it definetly didn't go to waist .
As for a bad shot ,well we all make them doesn't matter whether your a good shot or an excellent shot ,if the deer jumped the string he could make any of us look bad with our shooting .
What get's me is when a deer die's in the wood's and the predator's get to them they alway's go between the leg's into the rear area or the gut's first ,and usually leave the front and back till last .
At least you were able to salvage the rack for good use ,and you now have another story to save in the ole memory bank.

Yall also have to understand that in north alabama where treehunter and myself are from a 6 point buck is a VERY VERY VERY good kill. The deer get real big further down south and on the georgia line. But i agree with you treehunter I'd much rather have killed the deer and have ate his meat rather than finding him dead rotting in the woods after the coyotes have gotten to him
