That is why they call it hunting.

If it makes you feel any better I havent even had a shooter within range. Or even seen one while in stand

I choked on a 30 yard shot a two weeks ago on the first buck I attempted to shoot this year. I had to tell myself that it happens and use it as a learning experience. Also had to tell myself that I was having "fun" though it didn't seem that way at the time.

Get back out there!

I'm with ya there too, Steve! Shooters seem to be few and far between this year.
 
No excuses not the first and I'm sure its not the last.

Shot right under him. I went out today and did a bunch shooting. I was right on. I even took a few at 40 and 50 yards and was hitting the mark. Must have been the antlers. I know I was shaking BAD. I love that feeling.

I guess a clean miss is better than a bad hit. Ill get him next time.
 
Hey man I know the feeling. I made a bad shot on a BIG eight with a drop, I would have rather missed him altogether.
 
I feel your pain:

1) Hit a twigg at a deer
2) Something stuck in cam: could not draw bow
3)Deer ducked close shot and grazed him
4) Bigggggggg buck winded me at 30 yards (only 2 more steps!!!!!)
5) Doe with a buck saw me draw and she busted out of there taking the buck with

***all of that happened in 5 days of hunting in a row and all were different bucks***

i feel your pains and will be out after shotgun with both a muzzleloader AND a bow!!!

Good luck yet this year!
 
I know how you feel! Missed a 160" ten point at 8 yards (I think I might puke! was the post). Hope you get a chance later in the season to connect. Keep your head up and good luck!

Been there man. I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that screwed up a possible wall hanger this year. My case I didn't miss. I didn't even shoot. I actually drew on him and waited for him to step into an opening. He wouldn't move and I wimped out. I had to let down. Of course then he stepped through. Then he stood totally broadside at about 35yds and I didn't want to try the shot because there was some small branches blocking me. I really didn't want to screw him up. For an hour and half, a doe an him stood around within 40yd of my stand. Can't believe that I didn't shoot him. I've never been so tense for so long. I was exhausted after that hunt.
