taday was the first day of bow season in the state of virginia. i haven't had a chance this year to get my stand up so this morning i figured i would just sit on the ground. i got to the tree where i was gonna sit and 1 hour before daylight, right as the sun was coming up i saw 3 does heading my way. i just sat there and about 2 mins later i saw him. biggest 8 pointer i have ever seen. he got in my shootin lane about 15 yards from me and as i started to draw back my bow my foot snapped a little twig and the buck and the does just bolted. made me sick but thats all part of hunting. i hope i get another shot at him soon!!
