I just got a text from my buddy and lease partner. His daughter just "smoked a nice buck" as he reported in a very excited text. They were sitting in the shooting house I built in the field at our Metamora lease. I will post a pic when he sends one. They haven't started looking yet. He said it was a nice one, but then, he sounds pretty shook up with adrenaline, so who knows. It's almost bound to be her biggest since she hasn't killed a very big buck yet.

Well, looks like its going to be a long night. The buck was standing in the field. Buddy said they couldn't find blood. Its hard to find blood in a field in low light. He is confident she made a good hit and they know the direction it ran. He is going to go back first thing in the morning to find it.

He is starting to think clean miss. No blood or sign.

What a bummer! Well there goes my day. I might as well take the rest of the day off.

He's bummed to have to tell her. I told him to emphasize clean miss. Should be easier to take than if they lost a blood trail. We've all been there. It's no fun.

Absolutely, a clean miss can be a good thing.

Good lessons learned I'm sure. Why not get the misses out of the way now!

The missed shots built the fever in me as a young hunter. I was hungry for the first one, if it came real easy not sure I would have been consumed by the hunts.
Good luck to the young lady.

I am sure she will take it kind of hard, but she will bounce back. She has killed 3 deer. She killed one small buck. This was her first miss. In talking with my buddy further, he assured me that this was a good buck, one that he or I would have shot without question. Sounds like a clean miss. Maybe she will get another opportunity at him.
