    He's still beating himself up over it .
    He admitted he couldn't see the deer properly and basically shot at the 'movement' rather than the deer .
    He didn't want to admit it as that goes against everything I have taught him , but now he knows why he needs to be patient and not crack under pressure . He realizes he should have let deer 243 take the shot but poor bugger wants his deer so badly....
    Buck fever strikes again . But given time he'll get over it .
    Shame coz the lad can shoot no doubt .
    Has dropped everything else no problem many many times but for some reason a deer appears and shit turns to custard....
    He dropped this wee pig at around 160 mtrs while it was hightailing it away from us across a scrubby hillside with the 338 right in the engine room , a tricky shot for even a seasoned hunter

    Give him a bit of time he'll come right.
    He has admitted his mistake which is the first step in the learning curve.
    That aside he enjoyed the day and thanks @deer243 profusely for the opportunity, as do I.
