I'm with ya S4F, I missed the biggest deer of my life just a week and a half ago and couldn't have been more upset about it. I was back in the stand the next afternoon and didn't see a darn thing, and was still happy to be out there. You never know when the next deer is gonna walk by, and that's what's great about hunting. Just this past weekend I rattled in an 8 pt nearly as big, but didn't get a shot and was still happier than a fox in a hen house to have seen such a nice deer. Don't get down, get back out in the woods and good luck! Might wanna check the sights on your bow before you go back out, they might have been bumped and that's why you missed, best to get that figured out before you miss a second time.
