@SkylarPreston Dude, you gotta take it easy on yourself. I understand being disappointed in your shot and not recovering a deer, but you don't have let it eat at yourself for the whole off season. You need some positive self talk. It's not going to be easy to make a good shot when you are telling yourself you suck. Target practice a bit, build confidence, tell yourself you can make a good shot, visualize it from the tree, and then kill the next deer that presents a shot. If you thought you were perfect, you were slapped with reality....not a bad thing, NONE OF US ARE! Hunting is supposed to be fun, relaxing, a pleasure, not a stress filled time of self loathing and regret. Enjoy the time out there and be thankful for the opportunities. Positive vibes man....positive vibes.
