yes he was mad and almost crying on the second miss and his dads like dont pout!!! after he shot the deer and his dad said he hit it he got excited...i guess alot is on his shoulders...all the pressure from dad and the camera behind him....and all the nerves and buck fever that is hard for anyone to control....ive never had a problem finding a deer in my scope..even on a dead run at about 10 foot with a small lensed scope i find them....but ive heard of people not being able to and i trained myself and found ways to find my target easily....and i never close one eye...i duno it looked to me like the kid just shot to please dad the first 2 times...he was repeating find it and squeeze the trigger..put it behind the shoulder ect ect over and over...i dont think i could killed a deer at 8...i mean i loved it and i went coon and squirrel hunting with dad and watch 100s of animals die a year and never felt bad or anything...but dont think i could killed a deer myself at 8...i missed the first minute of the show i know it was the kids first deer...dont know about game....watching the boy just rubbed me wrong....i did like the show itself though...i cant remember any deer looking warm and soft when they found it.....this one looked like a home video....thats how i like hunting shows....
