Gene Hill wrote "sometimes its better not to know" in reference to why you miss that high rise wood****, or that straightaway grouse, or that nice buck. But rather, take it with a grain of salt and get back out there and enjoy every little aspect of the outdoors. I missed a deer today, not a big eight pointer, and yes it was discouraging, but I enjoyed the blue skies, the company I had, and just being blessed to enjoy this great sport. Keep it up, this one be the last miss I am sure, but it won't be the last big one you ever see either! Good Luck.
