I've had that the past two years - both resulted in lost animals. One wsn't hit bad, the other (this years buck) I don't know ...... my gut says I killed him, the tracking job says he lived.

I don't have that confidence anymore ...... and don't know what to change to get it back. LBR is right in that I need to kill some animals ....... I've got a hog farm buddy who's going to bring me a couple of pigs in the coming weeks. I'm going to put them into a pen, and shoot them.

Why ? I want to remember what its like to kill an animal, to focus on a spot and send the arrow there. As weird as this "practice" seems, I'm gonna do it
