Regrets?

early in · 01-02-2010, 04:38 AM

I was wondering if anybody has any regrets from the 2009 bowhunting season? Equipment, hunting spots, bad trips, missed shots, ect.

I have no regrets just wished i had made a few better decisions at times on hunting spots.
But thats just hunting and i guess the way it should be?

Everyone i know and hunt with "friends and family" was able to go to there stands,hunt and come back safely to there familys at the end of the day and tell all kinds of hunting storys and such.

No regrets just great memories. Cant wait to do it again.
(Thank you lord).

No regrets for me either, arrowed a really nice buck. If I had to pick one thing tho'. It would be shooting an inch over an antelope at 40 yards. The an hour later making a "12 ring" shot on a prairie dog. How the hell does that happen??

Ive only got one. When that 120" 8-9 pt walked up i wished i would have aimed for 20 yards instead of 25.

I still feel like an idiot and i dont know what i was thinking,i just thought he was 25 yards i guess.

Not hunting the last 5 weeks of the hunting season. From Thanksgiving morning to the closer today I have not hunted. That is the first time I have ever done that in the past 18 years. My life responsibilities skyrocketed this year.

Nothing too serious, just wish I would have shot one of the bucks I had passed on. Hindsight.....................

I shot a decent 9 point on the 10th of Oct. Exactly one month later on the 10th of November shot at another 9 point miss judged the distance. Shot under him about 2 inches. He was bigger than the one I shot in Oct. by a couple inches.

my only regret was moving about 45 yds. over from the spot i was sitting at(along the top of a ridge) and 20 min. later a huge bodied 9 point walked by the the first spot i was at. would've been a 20 yd. shot with my bow. never seen him again after that!

rule#3 pick a spot and stay!

i skimmed the belly of a 155" that a neighbor got during gun season. Should have put the pin higher

My only regret is that I let too many walk early in the season, and then I ended up not getting one with my bow, but I was lucky enough to get with the ML. I have yet to get anything with my new to me Hoyt, new Easton Axis arrows. I know they better look out next year. I AM shooting something durring the early season.
