Went out for my first season last year, started late and didn't get out too much and I am a rookie so my senses aren't trained up quite enough yet.
So for now I have a big fat ugly 0.
Do have some grouse to my name though if that counts for anything

Whoa !! go to work for a few days and all heck breaks loose !!
Question my tracking ability ?? well.... you dont know me from Adam so I guess you can do that.
What I can tell ya is I spent the next 4 days, until it snowed , looking for that deer. And I mean days, not hours, and this was not a stubblefield or a farmers bush... we're talking big timber, no roads, and cold. Until I was satisfied that I had done everything I could think of to locate that deer.
What I can tell ya was that I was a lot younger, a lot cockier, and a lot less experienced.
What I can tell ya is that an average trip to the range for me is 4 to 6 rifles, 100-200 rounds and all day. Not 1 hour and 20 rounds...I mean all day. Bench and offhand. Sometimes, prone and position.
What I can tell ya is I started in Sask when I was 14, have lived and hunted in 3 provinces and two territories.
What i didnt eat that day was venison,,what I got was a good taste of humblepie. You may think your Danial Boone, you may think you are shooting a lazer beam, you may think you can do no wrong, but reality will reach out and slap you in the head.....one day.
Since that day I dont shoot unless I know I'm looking at a dead critter. But hey thats me,,.... everyone has their own way.
To all those who have commented and can understand what I'm talking about, hope to meet you in the field someday. The rest of ya...REALITY SUCKS !!!! hope ya dont find out the way I did.

Here's something to think about. How many of the "never lost an animal" crowd can honestly claim that they have never missed one? Unless you can claim membership in both groups you're just lucky, or kidding yourself. Sooner or later luck runs out. Rationalization can go on forever.
There seems to be quite a few votes in the 40 animal class in the poll. How many of those hunters went 40 straight? 20 straight? 10? Reality does indeed suck.

How about 5? Now if you shot 40 animals, killing five one shot kills then missing one you need 8 clean misses to be perfect. Try to flip a coin 8 times and get all heads. In my experience 90% shooters are crack shots with a lot of personal discipline. They only have to flip 4 heads in a row. 95% shooters will go 19 straight then miss one. The odds against flipping 2 heads in a row are 4 to 1. Play those odds in Vegas and you're going broke.
Sobering, isn't it?
