Default Missed Opportunities

Well, I just returned from my week hunt in wisconsin. I was able to get 6 P&Y bucks into sight, but only one close enough to shoot at....and MISSED! Twenty yards broadside and I missed, I'm just sick! I've been hunting for 20 years, and about two years ago made the mistake of getting cocky and giving a buddy crap after he wounded a buck...I have missed 4 deer since that comment! What a ball though, the bucks are chasing in Wisconsin that is a fact! And for me, it's back to the basics and time to spend much, much more time at the range shooting my bow in preperation for the December hunt!
Good Luck Boys!

I have a wall full of missed opportunities. You really should see it sometime, it's quite impressive.

Isn't that just how it goes. Mr. Murphy is always looking for an opportunity.Kill or no kill it sounds like it was a great week of hunting. If it makes you feel anybetter I was at work last week.
