Spent the last 2 days hunting with my fusil for deer. Took one yesterday, but almost missed. 35 yards out and I didn't notice the pinky sized sapling between me and the deer. The shot deflected, hitting back pretty hard, breaking her leg. Friends were near and we recovered the doe, but I was pretty distressed by the situation. I was upset with myself about the shot and not noticing the small sapling.
At the truck, the strap on my shooting bag tore where it is stitched on to the body of the bag. Yes I can fix it, but it was insult to injury.
Today shot the fusil and hammered the target (regaining confidence) and cleaned gear.
In the end, everything worked out for me. Im glad for the chance to hunt and take a deer, glad for friends that helped out in a less than ideal situation, and happy about my shooting today.
