The only deer that haunts me is the buck I lost on opening day about 6 years ago. It was good shot placement, lots of bolld for about 100 yards then nothing. The buck did a total disappearing act. I serched for more than a week to no avail.
I've never been haunted by a deer I missed or didn't get a shot at. That is part of the game, Some times you win, some time the animal wins. That is why I love this sport so much
