I'd rather not get a shot. You can always adjust your set up and have another go next time the wind gets right. Misses just make my stomach turn.

I'd much rather have no shot opportunity than to miss. If you spend any amount of time hunting, there are going to be days where a shot isn't is the cards. Too many factors involved in missing a shot that can get you to guessing why you missed. I have great days in a stand even when no shot presents itself.

It would urk the crap out of me to have nice 8 or 10 pointer within bow range and not having a shot present itself. [:@]
Taking a shot and missing is an all to common thing to get upset over but it does happen.

That's why they call it hunting and not killing,Iwish I would never miss but It happens to the best of us. To answer your question I'd rather not get the shot off cause you still get the rush of getting close to the animal and you don't have to kick yourself in the ass for eternity!!

Definately not get a shot off........still get to enjoy the show and don't have to re-live it 1,000 times kicking yourself in the butt for screwing up.
Unless of course you don't get a shot chance because you made a sound or got busted moving........then you get to do the above anyways [8D]

Yeah, definately not get a shot off........missing makes me sick! Seeing them and not getting a shot off gets the blood pumping and makes the next hunts better because you know he could re-appear at any moment.
