ive got over 150 hours in the woods this year
the first week of the season i grunted a buck over to 30 yards
drew back and missed.. i get out of my tree and pace it off and try to find my arrow...35yds
then couple weeks later.
.i look up and there is a button buck standing 20 yds from my stand ..grab my bow and all of a sudden it ..and the deerbehind him ran..
it saw me? he ran from my scent bomb? nope my good old nieghbor decides to hunt the last 1/2 hr of light and walks down the middle of the field at 4:30.
then stupid gun season...
nothing then last week i decide a deer is soon to be a dead deer.. the whole browwn its down stated to come in..(because i didnt get a deer and wanted meat) a nice doe steps out about 50 yds i raise my mzloader.. put the scope on her chest cock back BOOm yes i got my 1st doe... she walks away stands in the bushhes....no i didnt[:@]reload the gun she steps back out same exact spot boom...MISSSSS... she trotsup the hill ireload get out of my stand step out shes looking up the hill so i put the cross hairs on her neck BOOm ..no deer ,YES itmust of dropped i thought i take one more step out and there she is in the hedrow looking in the field...i dropped my gun in aw...
*i think the problem was after shooting i looked over the scope to try and see the deer, through the smoke.*
last weekend
i rode my quad in the woods the other night an saw6 or 7 deer it was around dark . the next day i headed out to stalk them when i sawi came up onthe hill where they ALWAYS are and she stood i spooked her but kept riding ahead i kicked out 3 more i parked my quad wondering wat to do and then i see legs moving right where i spooked the doe i walked up and she crossed i kept stalkin and then i thought WOW shes closer then i think i better stop moving ..in an open spot i had to stop
she saw me and ran.
then i decided to leave..the way out was the way she ran soo i was riding and saw her.. i said forget it but i stopped around the corner still watching ...she started to move and was heading across where i could shoot i rann off my quad and shee came out where expected offering a 30 yd shot. came to full draw ..forgetting everything i learned i release under her bellly she took 5 steps and kept ffeeding
i got my arrow and she was going to zig zag back acrross the trail so i got tothe trail and she sped up a bit while going acroos this time so i had to move quiick i at full draw and she looked up...upong releasing she jumped the string...now 20 dollars in the whole (cantfind the arrow) i went home
i was discouraged last week it was like depressing(before i miseed the doe with a gun)now im going back out with my bow
