Default RE: Tale of woe lost deer, help

Thanks for the snorting info, that was what Iwas looking for. When northeast rifle hunting I usually only have dead deer after a shot. Bow hunting in the jungkles of oregon is a whole different situation where you can't see 20yards. its not sitting in a tree stand where you can have shooting lanes and wait for the perfect shot that i have arranged for in the past. Picking a hole in the wooded lane between you and the deer
seems to be the best that can be accomplished. By the way the field fix worked since when i got home the bow was on target. With the snorting info I was looking for I slept better knowing a complete miss was most likely. Must have caught a small branch or something.By the way I have since heard that Blacktails are more likley to snort. Oh yea i don't have much expierence with missing.Thanks again.
