If they shoot more than once... they probably missed. If they shoot more than 3 times the definitely missed. The first shot of the day is always before you can see. Some idiot shooting his toe off or trying to shoot what he can' t see. The next shot is someone killing a deer.... and maybe the next. When it gets to be 9 o' clock there is a volley from all the yahoos that have been hearing shots but seeing nothing. They finally give into the urge and shoot a stump or a squirrel or a fox. Then there is a follow on volley from all the other nervous yahoos. This continues until 10 or 11 when all the nervous nellies leave for lunch and to see what' s dragged out. They drive around and see maybe one or two deer. Some yahoo always has to try a shot out the window. All said and done... a grand total of about 2 deer have been killed with 25 shots. It' s the way of the universe.
