    Missed a shot at nice buck this morning. Heavy beamed, at least 10 pts and 18"+ wide. I had all the time in the world, don't know what happened. I guess I just rushed my shot. He didn't even know I was there. He was'nt too scared only ran off 20 yds or so, never stomped or blew. I'm sure he'll be back in a day or two.

    And I'll be waiting...;)

    It happens to everyone. Did you follow through with your shot?

    I don't think I even aimed. Heck, I could have almost spit on him! That's what p!sses me off the most.

    Sometimes those "easy" shots are the ones we lose focus on. Hopefully you'll get a chance at redemption.

    At least you didn't miss him 3 times.:D

    Those types of misses sting, that's for sure! Happens to all of us at some point though.... Keep at it, I'm sure you'll redeem yourself...

    At least PT doesn't have the record in my filming "days". I have my exwife missing a buck 4 times on video!

    Misses happen. I've missed before, hell I'll likely miss again and I can shoot a gnat off my dog's jewels at 60 yards. LMAO. :D
