Fear not, Roy. Anybody who says they never missed a game animal is either a liar or he's never been hunting before.
Heck, all the times I hunted black bears, I never even got a shot. (Well not really all that many trips, but still.) More than a couple bear rifles bought/built for Pennsylvania's three day bear seasons, and never dirtied a bore. (Thought I was going to once, but the "bear" that materialized out of the fog was an Amish guy who unwisely chose that day to go into the woods hunting for teaberries. Yep- black hat, beard, black coat, etc. Got my heart pumping when I saw him. Thank god I decided to watch him through binoculars until he was close enough for a sure shot. The idiot actually took umbrage when I yelled at him, and offered him the use of an orange vest to wear back out of the woods. Then he thanked me when the full impact of his stupidity dawned on him.)
