I skipped a ton of pages. I guess you saw one. And even got a shot.. good for you.i’m working on all those things.....and I have gotten over a certain amount of “buck fever” over the years....
I am the first to admit that I need more practice as one can never practice enough. even though the muzzleloader is very similar to my rifle, today was actually the first time ever that I have shot it in the field. and i most likely “second-guessed” my shot placement based on my previous shots with my rifle. but i did see proof that my shot literally scared theout of her!! but since it was a “clean miss” I didn’t really even spook them and they will most likely travel a similar path tomorrow and next weekend etc. I can sleep well tonight and learn from this experience vs beating myself up like I did with the buck.
I worked around here most the day, only sat for an hour and a half tonight... nothing again.
