Missed one
 

When you say you missed a deer, do you mean that you shot at and missed? Or, that you saw it to late to get a shot? Or, the dder saw you and ran before you could get a shot?

The term could be used in any of those situations. Usually when I say I missed one I mean I was close to it but had no shot. The term does seem to imply shooting, but many people I know use it differently.

^^^^^
When I say I missed one I mean I shot at one and missed it. If I saw a deer and didn' t get a shot I would say I saw a deer and didn' t get a shot.:D

i would use " missed one" if i missed one....i call one getting away the animals fate or i got busted or chose not to take it....

RE: Missed one
 

When I say I missed one it means that the deer either didnt give me a shot, or I shot and missed. I use it both ways, but when I say it, I elaborate so as not to confuse the other person!

;)I don' t know.......Never said it:D

RE: Missed one
 

When I say I missed one, I took and missed a shot. If a deer spooks or I fail to get off a shot that I think I should have had, I usually say " I missed an opportunity!"

RE: Missed one
 

Missing to me is firing a projectile down range and not hitting the target. Anything else is not getting a shot for " X" reason.
One thing i notice guys saying that bugs me is when they say they passed on a shot, when there never was a shot to be taken.(especially in archery) " Yea I passed on a buck I saw about 40 yds away in the brush" NO you didn' t pass, you saw a buck that never presented itself for a shot. Passing is when you have a deer within range, and a clear shot and elect not to take it for whatever reason.

Would it be bragging if I said I never miss or would that be a lie. Probably would be a lie yes that is what it is a lie.

If you dont take a shot then you didn' t miss.

RE: Missed one
 

When I say I missed, I mean that I shot and did not hit the deer.

I was driving home the other night and there was a big buck standing in the road, i swerved and MISSED IT, the opportunity was there for me to take it, but i passed it up. :D

RE: Missed one
 

Unfortunately, there are some people who would take that shot...I call that shot a " Hail Mary" ...if they didn' t take it then they " passed on it" cause usually they woulda tried to hit the deer just so they could track it and put a follow up shot on it. But, you know what? it usually ends up with...Well I got a good hit and followed the blood trail...but I lost it...

RE: Missed one
 

It means that I took at shot at a deer and did not hit it....I missed !!!

RE: Missed one
 

To me it means that I took a shot and didn' t connect[:' (] Times I' ve seen deer within range with a clear shot and didn' t take it I passed a shot. Times I seen deer and didn' t have a shot due to distance/obstacles, I saw deer:D

RE: Missed one
 

I was hunting one cold morning and a nice six pointer stepped out in front of me, i took two shots and it ran away, shortly an 8 pointer stepped out in the same place, took two more shots and it ran away also. i liked to never get that cap back on the bottle. :D
