Wow. Hard to beat that Paddy!
I have a video clip of a chamois standing just 120m away staring at us while my very experienced hunting mate set up shop... bipod on, perfect rest, loads up, stuffs around, and finally shoots the rock behind the chamois. The video is 2 minutes 37 seconds long and I started rolling only after the several more seconds it took to get the camera out and turned on. To this day I'm buggered if I know how he missed when he had over 3 minutes to get sorted. Naturally I like to remind him about that miss regularly.
I have plenty of other hard luck stories available... it's an intrinsic part of hunting.
