I had to lean out from my stand so I wouldn't hit it. The deer was directly under me. I hit him in the back, he buckled and ran away, my arrow fell out and I never got him. I will never take that shot again. [&o]

From the ground, 2 yds! Was within 2 feet of a deer two other times, but didn't shoot.
