What's your batting average?
As far as even seeing deer vs. total hunts I am 1/10

Hoyt...
There's extenuating circumstances that "happen" sometimes in the deer woods. I shot four times (and hit four times) a deer I didn't even shoot, initially. What does THAT do for my BA? The deer was spined by another hunter.....and he was blocked for a follow up. I shot until the deer was not moving.
I was only trying to point out that there are such things that occur.
You can "bust on me" all you want. I did the right thing.

I was 1 for 2 this year, my first year with a bow. Got a doe, and had a clean miss on a buck. Misjudged the distance and shot under him.[:@].500, not to bad my first year out.

2/3 just caught a doe on the chest, mostly a hair cut. I rushed my shot because i was on the ground with her looking straight at me and miss judged the distance. I still kick myself in the butt about it . Lesson learned i won't do that again
