Missed Buck
« on: October 20, 2024, 10:38:30 AM »
I missed a buck this morning. I shot at him twice and disappeared into the thicket. Should I go hunt a different cut or go back to the same one? I’m worried he won’t show up again and I only have two more days to hunt this coming weekend. Also he was with one doe.

are you sure you completely missed?  You can miss the ideal shot location by more than a foot and still hit the animal...

Yeah I think so. I jumped him and he started to run I took two standing shots while he was moving. Dumb mistake on my part. No blood no hair or anything
