You had it gutted and dragged to the truck...before you pulled the trigger...Yah picked your head up before you shot.Been there done that too
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Bummer you didn't get your deer but would rather have a clean miss than a questionable hit.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Done that! Don't be too hard on yourself Roy, I have missed them when they were so close I nearly had to back up to shoulder the rifle! Even at close range there is a pile of space surrounding them.

by neck do you try for near the head or near the shoulder?
the neck shot near the shoulder is a lot more forgiving
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
