[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 2835480, member: 118657"] Oh! I've had my share of misses! Not so much on deer but coyotes! OMG I once took a coyote stand with a bolt 223 (in avatar) with 4 down below because it was safe to carry and easy, and of course that's all I needed...wrong! A double shot out in a springy gallop about 80-100 yards to my left immediately after the call started. I followed through with the first shot. Bang, nose dive. I quickly bolted and went for the second which had turned and ran quartering away. Miss! Again I tried to get a hurry up shot before it hit the woods and... miss #2. I bolted again and was looking towards the first hit coyote that was down and suddenly, since my e-caller switches to yelping pups upon shot report, I notice the second coyote came out and was running head on towards me. I raised and settled the cross. As soon as my finger began the pull she apparently saw me and darted to the side and the bullet threw dust behind her. As soon as I bolted again she stopped about 75-80 yards away and looked back towards my call. Out of bullets. 😖 So... yeah. The fever can get ya! [/QUOTE]
