Jay, I shot my best ever buck last Sunday and couldn’t find it after an exhaustive search that included a tracking dog. I have been disgusted for for 5 straight days and haven’t slept much. The season isn’t over but my bottom lip is poking out really far.
I know the feeling @huck72412 it’s happened to me and really can mess with your head!! You did all you can do man and fate just wasn’t on your side this time. Get back on the horse buddy all great deer hunters lose sometimes but you just need another beast to put down.
