The above all give the primary definition, in my mind, the secondary definition is "the most overused excuse for missing around"

YES it happens, but how often is it used as an excuse when it didn't happen, the guy just flat out missed? I watched a bowhunter once take the shot, deer never flinched, arrow went right over his back, deer didn't even move when arrow buried in the ground. He DID move however when the guy tried to reload for the second shot. Ran into him on the road and he told me all about it, we had never met and he didn't know I was in my tree when he came in and setup 75 yards away.

I am sure it happens more in other parts of the country where hunting pressure is higher, but our deer just don't get shot at enough and are usually pretty relaxed.
