Default Missed HUGE muley today. So dissapointed

So I am new to hunting, and missed a huge buck today. So dissapointing. How do you guys deal with missing a shot??, especially if it was an easy shot. I was probably only 100yrds away, but I was so nervious I missed. At first I thought I hit him, but I searched the area quickly and didnt find any blood. I got a photo of the buck but dont know how to attach a photo to this. Can anyone tell me how. If you guys saw this buck you know why I am so dissapointed in myself.

That is not a mule deer... That is an elk... and Im sure that if you missed it today it did not have velvet on... not trying to be rude just be careful

this pic was taken earlier in the season....I didnt have my camera on me today but it was the same deer forsure. And Im pretty sure its not an elk. There are no Elk around where I hunt. If it is an elk then I dont know how it got so far from the range.

I didnt actually take the course. I challenged it and passed with a good score. Are you also implying this is an Elk?? I was no where near the mountains, actually hundreds of miles away, so there is no way its an elk.

Absolutely it's a mule deer ... you should shoot it and take it to the nearest fish and wild life office to show them, sure they will be very interested in this trophy mule deer, might even make the local headlines ;p



In all seriousness, someone needs to look at pictures of elk on the internet, might want to look up trolls as well ...

Of course I am you stupid idiot.
Take the course again.
Elk aren't only in the mountains.

Look it up on Wikipedia if you are too cheap or lazy to take the course.

This is the dumbest thing I have read on AO ever.....

I am taking the course online now, and you challenged it?
How did you even pass the firearms course?

Edit, Also if I were you I woulkd surrender all my firearms and never hunt again. Although if I were you, I would have probably killed my self for being so stupid.

So I am a troll because I MAY have wrongly identified a deer. You have to start somewhere, and its my first year. Look at the replies, other members say its a deer as well. are they trolls too? You need to be a little more understanding to new hunters
