Default RE: I missed...or did I??

when I was about 12 I was sitting in a stand and as it started to get dark I saw a 4 point buck step out of the woods about 85-100 yards to my right, I immediately turned and took my time, aimed, and placed the bullet exactly where i wanted to, or so i thought. after the shot the deer just stood there and didnt even move whatsoever, then it calmly turned and WALKED away in to the woods. All the indicators said i missed and i figured my scope was off since i wasnt the one to sight it in (grandpa's rifle). regardless i walked dow to where the deer was when i shot for no reason except to at least try and figure a reason for the miss, Seeing NO blood or hair I still decided to walk back where the deer came from, lo and behold about 40 yards back in the woods there was my buck, laying there dead as a doorknob, perfect shot behind the shoulder. moral of this story is to, no matter what, go check your shot and where it ran, regardless of blood or hair.
