Anybody else want to sign on????
One of my season's goals it to NOT release an arrow.....that I wouldn't be proud of.
So.....I'll come here and tell you guys of EVERY shot I take.....good or bad. I'm not saying a complete miss is "bad"......as there can be extenuating circumstances to any shot. GOAL is for me to have zero misses.....but I'll tell of every one.....and also tell you of whether or not I think it was a good one or ill-conceived.
I missed a few times, last year.....and I'm not sure how many times my fellow hunters do the same. I'll document each(attempt)in here, this year.
9 shots......9 deer is my goal (excluding follow up shots, when presented).

I'll sign on....
In PA my goal is a one shot, one tagged....
If I get to NC post PA season, it's as many as you allow and...lol but I'm shooting for 100% success rate.
Obviously my goal is always to never miss but like you said, it happens.
Mine can always be seen in my journals regardless of what is on the forums.

Like I said.....I KNOW (and admit) to taking ill-conceived shots in the past (and I can count these EASILY on one hand). In my quest to mature as a hunter.....I AM learning that a deer will either offer you a "legitimate" shot opportunity.....or he won't. Part of the learning curve is knowing when to let down and wait for another day.
I say this term a lot....and I think people often take it the worng way, but...."It's just a deer". I take nothing from the animals when I say this. My meaning is.....I will have another opportunity.....and to not get caught up in the mindset of "having" to take one (at any cost).
Good luck to all.....
