Jeff, thank you for not getting upset at me. I just cant comprehend anyone having any kind of hunting experince and not missing an animal. I talking all of them, pheaants, rabbits, ground hogs, praire dogs, coyotes, turkeys, grouse, I could go on and on. To much can go wrong, especially with shots that are taken down range, one little sapling that you dont see at a target at any distance and the shot can and sometimes will go off target. I too have hunted miles from any road, and know darn well that things can and do go wrong, and while I have shot more game than you, it isnt by a more than 50 % if your talking just big game.
