Think of how sick you'll get when you find his blood, track him for two days, and finally have to give up because of weather or something. I've missed one animal my whole life, and it was a clean miss, and that made me sick to my stomach. I will only pull the trigger/let fly if I know that shot's going to kill the animal cleanly. Period. People who do otherwise make me nauseous.

I've let a couple of really, really nice bucks walk because I couldn't stop shaking, or the shot was too far, or whatever. I am determined to never, ever have a bleeding deer that I can't find.
