I wanted to make a poll, but this forum doesn't seem to offer that option.
This is a poll going on in another forum, and i'm curious to see what you guys say about this.
Ever shot any big game that you couldn't find?
Thanks.

No, not yet. But I've always believed that if you spend enough time out hunting, there will come a time that it will happen to everyone.

Lost a feral hog but I don't know they count as big game or just a nuisance. All others I've been fortunate enough to recover but I'm a conservative shooter.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

If you have not, you haven't hunted much. I have lost three.1 deer, two elk that I know would have died.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Yes, a whitetail shot on an island that keeled over on the river's edge and sunk in the current.
A black bear that tumbled into a rock wall crevice.

Yes, more than once I'm afraid.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Lost a deer once. Still haunts me. Still don't know why he didn't drop dead. Sick feeling indeed.

No, not that I know of, at least not an animal I put the first bullet into. When I was young I was sent to go find and bring back lots of deer. I do remember a couple of them that I never caught up with though.
I am usually not worried enough about shooting a deer that I even consider marginal shots. Easy shots ought to be made.

Not yet, but I know it can happen to even the best hunter.
My time is likely coming. Thought it was happening on a mule deer hunt once, but we found him the next morning. Ugh. That was a tough night, but it was likely a lot tougher on the buck.

I knew the answer yes would be high, because stuff happens, but it's also good to see so many saying no.
