Hehe! Sounds like you had a good time! That's why they call it bowhunting and not shooting. You bust your butt with focused practice, diligent scouting, and ritualistic preparations. Yet when the moment of truth arrives, you never know what will happen. Thank God for that really, for if they day ever came when we could guarantee a kill with every shot there wouldn't be reason left to hunt. I know ya kind of kick yourself in the tail over those missed shots, but those encounters do make for fond memories.

By the way, where was the spike through all this?
