Great thread, I think this excuse falls into 2 categories.


The guys who rarely if ever, kill anything, so they just say they were waiting on the big one, so their excuse is pretty much BS.
the guys who legitimately wait on big bucks and for whatever reason don’t get an opportunity at one that meets their requirements. This is legit and whether they say it as “they didn’t place themselves in the right position” or as “one didn’t show up that I wanted to shoot” is just being nitpicky. [/ol]

However, I feel that if you did not get one due to missing, blowing a shot, or having one close that didn’t work out, just state how it went down. No biggie, its not an “excuse” so much as its just the way it happened
