It happens to the best of us, just keep your up! Gave my #1 buck a clean right over the back miss at 20 yards, hours before that I was practicing at from 60 yards from a stand I have set up in my yard and was hitting a 3 inch group consecutively. Still haunts me but it happens. You still got a couple days left for redemption TOO!!! Aim small miss small

You ain't gonna believe this one...
I'm chasing two different bucks. One is at the top of my list. He hasn't shown in daylight yet. Tonight, with a few minutes of shooting time left, he shows. As he walks at 40 yards (mind you, I can't see very far with all that snow on the branches) he takes his time to head toward some doe further out, turn and chase a smaller buck behind him, feed... Etc...
He finally starts to turn my way, release on the loop, and... Crash!!! A branch breaks in a tree behind me and slams to the ground. Off he runs. Are you fugging serious?!?!?
That was the third branch that snapped tonight. The first two happened early in the hunt. This one had perfect timing. I hear ya up there deer God. I hear ya. You're mad at me for something. Are we even yet?

That sucks Cotty!
We saw 3 does and 3 coyotes. No shots fired but could have easily killed some deer. Fun evening until the yotes spooked off the deer. Its becoming a regular thing.

Bummer Cotty. Kudos for sticking it out to the end though.
Sorry to hear of the misses Steve. I think the closer they are the tougher it can be. Downward angle makes that target so tiny.

Well I guess I'm only good at getting pictures of deer... I've been out three times this week including tonight and have yet to see a deer, got to watch an owl fly around tonight so that was kinda cool...

Hahah man that sucks! I would have been thinking the same thing you were! Or maybe, just maybe, it was a sign that that buck wasn't the right one and your #1 is really your destiny?!?! Either way good luck out their!
Hey, it happens man! Just remember it's not always about the deer but the experience of being able to sit in the woods in silence and really take in nature. Seeing a owl must have been pretty cool though! It will happen just stay with it!
