Get Over It!!

[squeeze2drop]

Guys, i missed my first deer this year, ive shot a few, im very fortunate that where we hunt is very private, so we have had great success, but this year i flat out missed, how in the world do i get over the sick feeling in my stomach ive had for almost a month now? lol seriously, i still see that buck at night when i go to bed, and randomly throughout my day, i missed 5 times!!(i know, im horrible) what do you guys do to get over when you miss???

My brother missed 5 times this year also, so get over it, and think you arent the only one out there that has missed.

After you missed the 3rd time when he was broadside at 120yds you should of just put your gun down.

Hey swiftboy, i missed, i know i suck, but i was really hopin to get one cuz i wanted to try out your new theory of how a BOXCUTTER is better than any knife when it comes to gutting out a deer, oh well, guess next year hopefully!

Go Bowhunting next year you will get used to missing

Go Bowhunting next year you will get used to missing  

Not necessarily.  Been bow hunting for 25+ years and have missed only 2 shots the entire time and they were due to 40+ mph winds.  Never missed with a rifle or shot gun.     When it happens it is time for a little more time at the range.  I can see missing 1 or 2 but anything over that and you need to stop shooting and find out what is the matter.

Ya I prob do, but I'm 14-15, so I don't question my ability, just got a lil excited I think, oh well I'm not perfect

[the1rod]

being that you missed 5 times, you could have bumped your scope off, did you check it after?

[squeeze2drop]

You know, I didn't, I I shot a coyote the day before at 100 yds running straight away from me, in the rain, I don't have an excuse, I just missed, I wish I coulda seen my dust so I coulda made an adjustments

[Swiftkid]

Get serious!

[BLKBEARKLR]

You get over by being glad that you missed and knowing that the critter is still alive and not wounded out there somewheres.

[squeeze2drop]

Ya I did think about that, he should be nice next year, and nobody else hunts in there

Squeeze you dribble and you shoot you don't always make it! Stay confident you will get one soon! I'm 26 and have been hunting since I have been 10 and have almost took a buck every year but I have missed tons of big bucks and I always felt like it haunted me! But just remember next year is a new year and there will still be plenty of bucks out there. That's why it's called hunting! You just never know when it's your time for getting your biggest buck. My last three bucks in the last three years have been my three biggest bucks!
