Well fellas I was out this morning and around 7 a.m I had a doe a fawn and a 8 pointer trot past my stand. The buck did stop where I could shoot him but I passed, but as they trotted away I told the doe that if she brought him back that I was going to shoot him. A hour later guess who decided to come right back where she came from. OK so I stand up because I am a man of my word, I get my bow and hook my release on. The buck stops about 40 yards out facing directly at me. Absolutely nothing but air between him and I. Suddenly another doe approached from the south and she was semi interested in this young man. Well the original doe exited when she noticed the opportunity. The buck decided to give this intruder a second look real fast. He stops about 15 yards out from my stand but not offering a shot. He wasn't real impressed with this intruder and decided to catch up with his original girlfriend. Well he passe by me at 18 yards and I BAH at him, he keeps walking slowly. I am at full draw and I think that I am anchored good on him. I try once more to stop him and decide to lead him just a touch and let it go and THWACK. A dead oak tree. I wasn't looking through my peep sight. Never has happened to me be4 but now it has. He was a decent enough buck I do live in Iowa so I know there are better ones. I know it was a long story to hear about a miss but I laughed real hard when I tried with no avail to get my braodhead back. Later fellas.
