sorry but don't see how it is possible to miss unless you hit a tree or something. or it was a long shot. i've shot many many many deer with a gun and never once missed dropped every single one in it's tracks. i just kind wanna here the story of what happened. but my gun season was unsuccesful also. i did watch a 18 point that i would say would easily score over 160. on the neighbors land about 500 yards from my stand. i was told to never shoot deer from there land or i will be sued so i didn't shoot it. never saw a shoot worthy buck again the whole rifle season.

IMO not necessary to dump on the guy because of a miss.Misses happen for the most careful of hunters.I admire folks who are very careful in their shot selection but things happen that sometimes cannot be forseen.

Hey, I've never missed with a rifle. I don't shoot unless I have a solid rest, or its a in the woods gimme shot under60 yds.I cant claim that everyone was drt, most ran about 50 yds, a few more, a few less, and afew drt with my ml or a shoulder shot with a rifle. Granted I've only taken32 deer with it and I'm sure itwill happen one day. I do practice constantly and very nearly missed with the biggest buck of my life with a rifle on a gimme shot in a field less than 100 yds away(very lucky spine shot), so I do understand the "choked" factor
.
Better luck next year. And practice, practice, practice. It makes the season that much longer

I didn't get one either, but going second season this weekend. I passed on a small 5. Didn't want to waste my buck tag on him. Since my freezer is empty of deer meat I'll take anything that walks by this time, if any thing walks by that is!!!!
