Well guy's I have to tell ya I STINK. Me and my pop went on a doe youth hunt on Nov 29. First we saw a group of 3 and I shot twice and missed both times. Then I made dad hike all the way around the moutain side just for 5 more shots at a doe only to miss. Then feeling like a idiot we went back to the check station to get another hunt, and on the way we saw 4 deer 3 fawns and a big doe. We got in position with the wind blowing our scent at the deer. They automatically winded us, and started to trot off. So we hustled to get a shot and I shot 2 more times. The first shot grazed the chest and the second shot hit both lungs and popped the main artery to the heart and left a blood trail 1 foot wide and 65 yards long. So all and all what do u think, do I suck? ................. PS please don't answer that.

What kind of gun where you shooting? IF you where shooting a shotgun with buckshot, no wonder you missed. I would never use buckshot on a deer. You say 65yards. Well, again, if you where shotgun shooting most people would say that's outta of range for a smooth boar shotgun shooting foster type slugs. But with a rifled barrel on there shooting $2 a round sabot slugs, 100 yards is in range ;D
Don't think you where muzzle loader hunting if you where able to get two shots off???

Well see I used to be able to shoot just as good as my dad and sometimes better. The people at the range asked me if I wanted to join the youth shooting team. But this year I just sucked big time.
