The same exact thing happened to me on the first friday of NYS bow hunting. I have been bow hunting for 2 years. Anyway, this whopper came strutting up after some doe had just passed. I sat there in disbeleif, counting his horns.(Yes, my cousin already yelled at me for that one). I finally counted about ten, he came into a nice spot, head behind a tree... I let fly and I thought that I had hit 'em and damn, was I happy. Then I noticed my arrow sticking out of the ground some 5 feet from where he had been standing. (At least I did'nt wound him.) My arrow too deflected off this minute little branch... all I can say that really got my blood moving. What a magnificent animal he was! (or hopefully still is). Gives me something to look forward to next season. We will both get one next year!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
