Well, unfortunately, we all do stupid stuff without thinking. Maybe, just maybe, especially kids on their first deer hunt. Hey, I was indestructable back then anyway! ;D
Well maybe not indestructable, although we all think that way. Thankfully you were uninjured. Even though you were just a kid when that happened, obviously it made an impression for life. I'll bet that you and your kids, if old enough, are much safer today from the lesson learned long ago.
“What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that the people preserve the spirit of resistance?”

Thomas Jefferson, 1787

You better believe it! You gotta learn from the idiotic mistakes that DON'T kill you. The ones that come close make it easy to NOT repeat. Don't climb trees with loaded guns, don't go out on large lakes in small boats in the winter, don't join the army, yeah, the REALLY dumb ones.

Weren't we all??? Learning process. It is all up to the education and experience of your first instructor to pass it on. We learn from our mistakes and move on. Such is life... ;)
