I think I have missed every dead incoming shot over the years, one on a woodcock last weekend. If I could just tell myself to settle down and wait....
I have also missed on an easy bird where I forgot to load the gun...
There are many other excuses I have found over the years hunting these clever little birds.
I am thinking about putting together a numbered list of all the potential reasons I have missed, that way my hunting buddy and I can just list them numerically when we get back, like that was the old 2-1-7 (translation) 2-stepped in a hole, 1- miss mounted the gun, 7- flew right behind a tree.
