CONGRATS TO HAMMERMAN AND BTB. WAY TO GO.
WELL I HUNTED HARD IN WIS. FOR 8 DAYS. DID NOT SEE AS MANY DEER AS EXPECTED AND CLOSEST DEER I SAW WAS A SPIKE AT 5 YARDS. HAD NOT GOT THE BOW IN THE TREE YET[:@]2ND TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. NEVER EVENHAD A DOE WITHIN RANGE AND HAD TWO "TRAINING BUCKS" COME WITHIN RANGE. MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME BUCK FORK ON LEFT AND SPIKE ON RIGHT. SECOND ENCOUNTER I DID NOT SEE RIGHT SIDE WELL. DID NOT GET THE BOW READY FAST ENOUGH ONE TIME HE WAS ON A MISSION. CRUISED RIGHT THRU THE SHOOTING AREA. OTHER TIME FOR "NO REASON " AT 50 YARDS LOOKED RIGHT AT ME AND CAME DIRECTLY TO ME . PASSED AT 8-10 YARDS AND BOLTED AS I DREW......[:'(] I THEN FIGURED OUT THE NO REASON WAS I HAD FORGOT TO REEL IN MY HAUL LINE AND IT WAS SPINNING IN THE WIND HANGING 6-8 FEET BELOW ME, HE WAS LOOKING BELOW MEAT THE SPINNING NYLON WEBBING.[:-][:@] SO ONCE AGAIN I HAVE BEEN SKUNKED ONE WHITETAILS. NOT SURE IF I WILL EVER ARROW MY FIRST ONE. I'M NOT DONE YET.....MAYBE!!! I WILL BE TRAVELING TO A MEETING IN SAN ANTONIO IN JAN. I WILL TRY TO ARRANGE A DEER HUNT SOMEWHERE THEN. GOOD LUCK GUYS THINGS SHOULD BE STARTING HOT AND HEAVY PRETTY SOON.
