RE: First deer....
man , I really feel you pain. I shot a nice 6 pt. the first Tuesday of our season. he came in and I stopped him at 20 yards. broadside.I tripped it and he jumped a couple jumps and stopped.just stood there.a min or two he started back to feeding.he came around and I though I was gonna get another shot,but it never came.I watched him for 20 min. then he walked off.
I never even found my arrow.I did find the cock feather (or Vane) about 20 yards to the right of where the deer was standing. I don't know what happened.if it came apart as I shot and the arrow went wild or what. I just don't know what went wrong.[:@] [:@] [:@]
