I would say that right there was/is the problem "heat of the moment"
I encountered the same problem about 20 years ago. I got all heated up at the appearance of the animal. I started "throwing" my shots at them. when I had missed my 4th deer, I sat down and really had a talk with my self. I made a conscious effort to become icy calm after that. I imagined I was operating on a brain. cold, calm, precise. shoot like you are trying to hit one hair. worked for me. about 60 or so critters later and a equal number of rounds.


I would say there's 3 dead cows out there, or R Loco is right. Probably the latter.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
