I don' t know how many times I have done that..It' s quite a lot though. I bet I have passed up on hundreds of deer over the years when I had a good shot. Sometimes it' s just fun for me to practice on them. I' ll get one in and try to draw on it. See what I can get away with. I have been amazed at how sometimes you can get away with murder and other times...poof. They' re gone in a heartbeat.[:-]
