In all honesty, the answer is 0. I have either missed completely 4 times in my life, or I have made the kill. I have never lost a deer. I was train from a small boy that you make sure of your shot and it only take one bullet to kill a deer. If at anytime you question anything about the shot, dont shoot. Following this has allowed me to keep deer in the freezer. I have seen the questions from you Uncle but I havent seen the answers yourself. How many have you missed, and how many didnt you shoot dead enough?
