I just learned a hard lesson this morning. I've been fortunate enought be cleanly kill most all deer that I've shot at. My confidence shooting at deer is extremely high. This A.M. I had a beautiful buck just at first light and all I had was a marginal shot at him. I figured I could take the shot no problem with the good streak I've been on. To make a long story short, I never recovered the buck. I will NEVER EVER take another marginal shot again. I no better than this and I'm kicking myself for taking that shot. I guess I got caught up in the moment. I've been bowhunting for a long time and I stress this to every Newbie about marginal shots and I go ahead and do it myself. I'm extremely dissapointed in myself. I just have to move on and learn from it.
