He has settled on a small buck (first one ever for him) this week and hopes to fill his bow tag before the end of the season.
I hope they find a way to prosecute the hunter who shot and killed the other one.

I totally agree, there is a disturbing trend I have observed while out hunting the past few years. Sitting out on the stand and hear bang.... bang.... bang, bang..... bang, bang. Seriously? I have never had to take more than one shot to get the job done and some fool is unloading their gun? And is the meathead that is doing this thinking about where those bullets may be headed? This kind of thing is going to ruin it for the rest of us. I have no idea why some hunters are that freaking desperate to get a deer, nor can I understand why anyone would chance injuring one and have it possibly run off, die a miserable death and be a total loss and waste.
Kudos for teaching your son the right way to hunt, passing on a bad shot doesn't make him any less of a hunter, and good for him for ending up being successful later on!
