I'd say I'd rather not get a shot off. That way, I can live the rest of my life saying "if he'd have just come two more steps, he was toast." If I whiff, I'm beating myself up over it for 3,4,5, 10 years down the line.

I'd rather not get the shot. If it's a marginal shot I probably wouldn't take it. If I'm going to shoot at all, I'd rather miss clean than wound an animal.
I hate long tracking jobs.

I would rather not having to track the deer down. So the answer is obvious, I'd rather have a good shot then just shooting. Done it many times.

It bugs me a lot more to miss than to not get a shot. If I don't get a good shot and don't try to pull something outta my backside then I'm proud of myself. If I miss then its my fault and I have to worry about if I wounded a deer or not. The thing that iritates me the most though is if I have a shot, but I missed my chance to draw on a buck. Then you've got a 5 minute stare down with your game I don't know how many times I've caught myself being stupid and missing chances to draw on different deer. I'll just be watching and watching them come in and then all of a sudden they are there and I think whoops missed a step in the process lol.

I'd definitely rather not get a shot off, because that may mean that I was using good judgment. Good question though.

I would rather not get a shot. Missing a shot is a real confidence killer.
