Missed a great deer yesterday. Had everything perfect, even grunted him in from out in the middle of the field. Came in perfect and I bumped the release with cold hands before I was ready. The rest is a big wiffa.....
Sorry man that sucks......... At least you had an excuse I have just plain missed before and that really makes you hate yourself.
Only thing you can do is laugh! I shot over a nice buck, nothing huge two nights ago. He was only 15 yards, and guess what I was cold and didn't pick a spot! I could have shot a second arrow, but he was at my max range. I just sat down slowly and chuckled, I love seeing bucks on the move.
Every hunt creates a good story . A successful hunt, fun & exciting. Don't always have to score to have a great hunt
Sean, my heart goes out to you. Most of us have done similar things and we know what it is like. Yesterday started our rifle season. A week ago I shot an 8 point with my bow. I was not going to post about it simply because although I had a great blood trail for a long ways, I was not able to recover him. Yesterday sort of made up for that. I'll make another thread.
