RE: shot and missed
I was sitting on a limb in a Live Oak Tree and missed a 10pt at over 200 yards with a .30-30 and the dang deer came back running right under the tree and I couldn't find him in the scope, so I fired and missed again.
Well, I said maybe next time and the next morning I did the oak tree thing again and Lord and behold, here he comes again at between 50 and 60yds in front of me, I held my breath and as soon as he gave me a shot I took him out!
If I miss, I still go to the same place!
