I know that taking a questionable shot on a deer is a judgement call, for me its kind of funny how even though you can make the right decision it feels so dissappointing. Lots of my friends tell me they would have taken the shot but I know it was a bad shot (7am pretty dark, lots of brush, no body visible ect.). I'm only 25 and have lots of years ahead of me to harvest deer so I'm not to dissappointed and as soon as I shoot my next one I'll forget all about that. And hey if I was ready in the first place I could have taken him when I grunted.
Anyway this weekend looks to be cold and windy in CT, so my tactics might change. Anyone have any suggestions?
