Well guys I'm sure this isnt what you expected when you clicked, but I still feel horrible. Not because I wounded one, but because I missed one. It's a long story and I'm way too tired to type it all, but long story short. I rushed a shot on a nice sized doe and cleanly missed her. Now it's not the rifle, and I feel I am a very good shot. I just messed up and now it's really bugging me! I just wanted to see how many of you guys have missed a deer with a gun?
An easier question would be to ask who hasn't missed. I've missed and there is no shame in admitting it. And there is no shame in admitting you hit one and didn't recover it. I'm guilty of that too although it sucks. It also happens to the pros you watch on TV. Shake it off, it's early in the season. At least you didn't hit and wound it. Enjoy the rest of your season. Maybe you'll fill your tag with a better deer.
