get over it- it happens
I made the "same shot" Friday. Probably a 130 class deer. He went down,(knocked him off his feet) let out a big grunt as he laid there and thrashed for a few seconds. I was feeling really good for a few seconds. It was about 100 yards shot.
I reloaded, as I fiddled with ramrod and a new cap, he stood up and walked off into a thicket with his girlfriend. I only found about 1/2 dozen big drops of blood. Searched for 2 hours, nothing more. I could not get a second shot, he was quartered away and heading into some super thick broomsticks.
easy come-easy go.
Who can say.
