Default How to get out of my slump?

Hey guys, here is the story...
I shot a fox last weekend, a nice little 12 yard chip shot, little low, still caught heart... He ran 30 yards, and piled up. I went up to grab him about a minute later, and he gets up and runs away...long story short, I lost him (blood trailed on hands and knees for 2 hours)...

Now, I know somebody is thinking "Aw hell, its only a fox...BFD", but I cant get over it. Ive been shooting everyday, but cant bring myself to hunt...The thing that gets me is, even if it was "just a fox", I could have been a deer...a lost deer...

Im petrified of botching another shot/trail job...

So, what do you guys do after a loss?
This may be a pointless post, but thanks anyway...
