Went out yesterday morning to one of my permissions to have go from the high seat, got there just as daylight was starting to show an interest and got set up. It was a horrible morning weather wise but I thought I would stick it out to see. Now I only waited about a half an hour before I seen movement to the left of me at about 70-80 yards out, got the bino's on it just to double check it was a Doe, tush was seen just as she managed to slip behind a bush. Waited a further 10 minutes and she re appeared presenting a perfect broadside chest shot. I steadied myself, placed the cross hairs on her chest, pulled the trigger and completely missed. There was no reaction to the shot apart from her making for the hills at a rapid pace. I was shocked to say the least, I climbed down and went and checked the shot site, no sign of blood or hair. To say this has knocked my confidence is an under statement.
