His legs were to short, or to tall, depending on whether you shot over or under.

I like to fire a warning shot to make it fair.

grabbed the wrong arrows when I left.

I grabbed the wrong Bow when I left.

No I didn't see anything.

I heard one today.

I underestimated the distance, turns out he was 50 yards, I thought he was only 30.
Relax,

my favorite is  'the deer jumped the string',  which is code for 'I screwed up'.

another common statement is,  'it was a good hit,  maybe a little far back'.  When I was gun hunter we'd call that gut shot.

I normally shoot a foot to the left. He was facing west that's why I missed, if he was facing east I would be eating venison right now.

If you hunt with your kids when they are young, you won't be hunting all over for them when they are teenagers.
