If you pay an outfitter to hunt and you draw blood...most cases you still pay and are done hunting. Guessing they wouldn't charge you and force you to stop hunting if it were a "miss".

Actually in most cases you don't pay. At least with the outfitters I've hunted with in the past.

I agree that there are some out there that do but there are more out there that don't.

Many years ago I took a snap shot (with a rifle) at close range on a running buck. Hit him in the head and killed that sucker dead as a hammer. Only problem is, I was aiming for the shoulder! :eek:

Guess I missed, but that missed buck sure was tasty. ;)

I killed my first Buck the same exact way, only with a slug gun!

I refer to these as "lucky misses"! :D:rolleyes:

As to the original question, it is poor shot placement. ;)

i"m not a deer hunter i"m a bird and small game hunter . the way i"m seeing this is : i"m mad i"m seeing all these dead deer on my property i would like to find that person and give them a piece of my mind . or are those the deer you missed during the season ?? and if those aren"t the deer you missed or someone else missed you might have poachers on the property . i think i"ve read in here a time or two about dead animals on someones property .

What if you hit a deer and don't recover it. Calling it a missed shot. But you find it that spring while shed hunting? Do you call it a hit and then get your shirt tail back?

Shirt tail cutting rules down here give you through the next day to recover your deer. No recovery after that time expires cost you a shirt tail. Counts as a miss regardless of if you find a decomposed deer in the future. After all, let that much time expire and who's to say the deer you found in the spring is the one you winged.

Also...if you filled all your tags during the season and found that deer you're talking about in the spring, did you break the law by exceeding your bag limit? I don't think so.

BTW, over the years I've killed deer with broadheads in their back and legs that were doing fine at the time. Deer have a much greater ability to recover from a poorly placed shot than some of you give them credit for.

So, lets say somebody breaks into your house. You go to to confront him, he says he's going to kill you and he pulls out a pistol and shoots you in the leg. Did he hit you or miss you?

:D

In that case the legal bag limit is zero so that counts as a hit for braggin rights. :p:p:D

I doubt that anyone on here, whether shooting a firearm or a bow, can consistently hit the exact spot they are aiming at. If your hunting implement of choice is properly sighted in to hit point of aim (technically impossible unless sighted in by a machine in a vacuum) you should always hit exactly where you aimed.....NOT! That is the difference between accurate, and, precise. Not bringing home what you "hit" does not make it a "miss".

I shot a buck this past season, drilled the arrow in the upper right side! It was a almost straight down shot! I was using one of them new broadheads that came out last year and didnt pass through! buried 2/3s of my arrow into his chest! He bolted and blew blood out his side for all of 50 yards right to where my arrow layed! With lung twisted in the head! 80 acres and 6 hours combing the woods, no deer! I say fatten the yotes!

Think Tom and Al are really just bored and been yanking our chains and messing with Chris through this. Everyone knows if you miss a deer it will not result in a dead deer:rolleyes:. Think elkoholic put it very well with his explanation.
