Contrary to common thought the majority of gun hunters aren't dead balls at 250 yards all the time. Alot aren't at 60 yards when a deer is moving through and they rush a shot, this results in spraying and praying alot of the time. I've done it in my first season I believe alot have. It's hard to do so with a bow and arrow I think. Sure some guys never make poor decisions but it does happen.
With that said if anyone in the Erie, catt, Niagara counties want a set of eyes and help tracking, bow or gun feel free to ask.
