Default RE: Whats everyones' batting average?

Thanks Jeff,

There isn't one shot that I regret taking. As someone said, "it's hunting". The turkey which flew away was hit just about as perfectly as one could be hit. We went back with dogs after searching for several hours. The dogs couldn't even find the bird. We weren't sure if a coyote sweep through and found the gobbler before us, or...? One doe in Illinois was eaten by coyotes after we decided to look for her in the morning-again, the shot was spot on. The doe in Nebraska collapsed within sight of me. I really thought she was down for the count. The shot was right through the boiler room. I got up a little early...her head was down and I thought she was dead. When I approached, she got up and ran...never to be seen again (my fault, I pushed to soon). The buck in South Dakota...I do not know what happened there. The buck may have ducked. Had my arrow hit him one inch lower...lights out.I spent two days looking for him.

Here's a photo of the doe I shot in Texas.
