Default Missing?

I'm curious how others treat missing an animal with their 1st shot?

Does anyone let the animal walk? ie. they beat you this time?

or oh well and keep shooting? and if it took you your 2nd or 3rd shot to hit the animal, what are your thoughts/feelings on that?




I strongly try to hold myself to a 1st shot/hit routine, although I did miss an antelope on my 1st shot once and then made a clean kill 2nd shot.

I know no one's perfect, and that's hunting, I honestly didn't beat myself up over it or anything like that.

just was curious what other hunters outlook on missing is...?
