I dont know about all that clean missing stuff, I guess everyone has there own way of looking at this topic, I for one was pretty mad at myself when I missed the deer completely, I felt as if I let myself down. All that practicing and I dident even hit the deer. That means I missed the mark that much that I most likely missed by at least one foot.
That being said, by missing completely,  I did'nt scare the deer that I missed that bad, he came back in this morning. If God will let me try I will do my best to not miss again. It turns out he was not a 8 point after all, he is a 10 for sure. Tomorrow I hope he is just a little closer.
Heath,
you will harvest a deer just keep puting time in the woods and it will happen.

QUIT LOOKIN' AT THE HORNS!!!!

Keep your eye on the spot 'till you see the arrow hit home.

Better a clean miss than a lousy hit & a lost deer. That's what keeps you comin' back!!

JMHO!

i was hunting from the ground last week adn had a 6 point come in close. i was tring not to look at his horns and not look at him in the eyes so i was looking at his feet. as ne got closer. he got about 15 yrds before i could get a shot. not sure exactly what happend but i believe that i shot at his feet. i'm sure that i could not have missed that bad.(ha! ha!). the next afternoon i shot a fox at 20 yrds.

Welcome to the club bro!!!! The good news is that you'll do it again someday! Just kidding. I can nail a tennis ball all day in the back yard and still miss a whole deer,LOL!
Just one more step please!
