Ok we have all seen the wounding threads. We have also seen our share of "I missed" threads. The question I pose is a simple one.
After such an expirience how do you move on?
OK maybe if you miss, you check your equipment, practice a little more and gain confidence again. But, suppose, instead of missing you make a poor hit. (which is much worse, than a miss, in my book!) How do you recover? I know with the respect most of us give our quarry, the temptation to quit would be nagging. Self doubt would be replaced with guilt and the snowballing effect would consume you until, as an ethical hunter, the only logical step would be to stick to a less primitive way of pursuing your passion.
