    The best thing you can do is put your bottom pin on it, if it is right under you. It doesn't sound like it would work, but it goes right where you aim

    One heck of a comeback! I guess this makes you the "go to" recovery guy for the rest of the staff.

    Awesome story JZ, heck of a read! You've had a heck a season! Too bad your tagged out before the new Mathews come out!

    Lesson #3 is great. We never let the hunter take lead on blood trails. As you said, emotions cause you to rush. It's better to have someone that is calm leading the charge.

    Congrats Justin! The write up was excellent and I'm glad you were able to recover a great deer. Many lessons in your post that are valuable tools to new and experienced bowhunters alike. Well done.

    The thing I like most about this story is that Justin posted it on his own before getting any feedback after the show aired. Yes everyone would have seen it anyway on BHOD but still, takes a lot to say I made a mistake and I respect that greatly.
