Sounds like NE needs to repopulate wolves cause you know, coyote problem!
Shot at a big buck tonight, shot felt good, buck looked hit. I couldn’t find the exact spot I thought he was standing once I climbed down. Watching him run away I thought he was dead, not finding blood tonight tells me otherwise. My confidence is waning as I wait until the morning. I really hope I find him dead in the morning or find out it was a clean miss.
A Muzzleloader was involved…….. I know better.

You know what the definition of insanity right?

Cheers to a short trail! I'm in a mood, so I may have a "few" for the cause
I’m dumb as hell. If I flat missed this shot it’s not only embarrassing, it’s a sign that muzzleloaders and I need to part ways for good.
It’s like that trashy girlfriend in HS that you knew was gonna break your heart but you keep going back because you think eventually it’s gonna feel good and work.

FFS let's make a pact to both give up the muzzleloaders and keep chewing I think it will be for the best in the long run.
Good for society in general I think

No you didn't. For shocker, he had it right. It never felt good because she always said no

Well, good luck. I hope you either quickly find him dead in the morning, or find a note on the ground that says, “YOU SUCK,” with a nice buck hoof signature on it.
True. I've shot dozens deer and one elk with a muzzleloader. Many times there is no blood trail all the way to the dead critter.
That’s the crappy part, but also gives me some hope I’ll find him this morning. I talked to a really good buddy late last night and his exact words were “dude you know half the time that big ass bullet won’t make them bleed hardly anything”
One I killed a few years ago had no blood trail for 70ish yards and as soon as we found blood he was laying there.

Good luck finding your deer today. We all know it’s dead and you just want to be an influencer and backed out for better pictures on the ‘gram.
I wish it was HTM. This guy is a close 2nd though. I’ve thoroughly proved how bad of a hunter I am to him, I believe he’s regretting his trip here now.
So walked a lot this morning, no sign of blood, saw 5 bucks, none were him. I believe I hit a branch or something, maybe I pulled it, but I can always tell if I do something funky pulling a trigger and I didn’t feel that. It’s pretty embarrassing missing a 65-75 yard shot. At the end of the day I’m confident it was a clean miss. I can live with that better than losing a wounded animal even though I feel like an idiot.
The hunt continues.

@Stocker it’s ok. If that never happens to a hunter, has he really hunted?
