I've missed at least a handfull due to buck fever until I found out what I was doing wrong. In times of stress I didn't anchor the same way I did when I was shooting on the range. Once I figured that out I began to make good heart lung shots. I lost a deer with a muzzleloader due to using the tiny pistol sabots that came with the rifle. I didn't know any better, they shot great so I assumed that they would be great in the woods. Well I shot a small buck (heart lung) at 20 yards, knocked him flat on his side, then he got back up and ran off without leaving any blood, never to be seen again. Switched to 380 grain buffalo bore bullets, and the problem went away. I wounded a doe with my bow a few years back when the bottom limb of my bow hit the rail around my stand when I shot, the arrow hit the deer in the back leg. I never found the arrow, or the deer or any blood. It happens to everyone at one time or another. The important thing is that we learn from the experience.
