Sounds like you had a great hunt! I think we've all been guilty of not picking a spot--the "gimme" shots are the worst for that, at least for me.
Hey, at least it was a clean miss, the big 'un didn't bust you, and you know your suit works and the spot is good. Just learn from your mistake and get some meat in the freezer next trip.

That's the plan! What's SOOOOO frustrating, is that it's not like I've never killed a deer before! This mistake is basic bowhunting 101!
Oh well..........live and learn!
