I think you are talking about actually seeing a critter and getting a shot off? A clean miss. Right?
or
Are you talking about just seeing a critter? and not able to get a shot off?
One thing is confusing to me on thishere internet...since I been on-line, guys state they called in x amount of Coyote or x amount of Fox. I get the impression they killed those critters. I'll pm or email the fella and fine out he says, 'no I didn't get a shot'. So some statements get me fouled up when a guy says he called in x amount of critters. Know what I mean?
