I as well as most have felt this way at one time or another. But don' t give up. Search again today and see what you come up with. But, don' t put the bow down for good. Examine what you did wrong. Were you excited, was the deer too far from your comfortable range, did you punch the trigger, did you use proper back tension, etc, etc, etc. Then use this as a learning experience. And learn what needs to be done in order for you not to make the same mistake. You have a conscious about this, and that is good. It is the person that sits in the tree and says oh-well and doesn' t go after the deer and learn from the experience that I personally have some problem with.

Good luck finding your deer.
