this years close calls!
thought it would be fun to share and raze each other about close calls we have had hunting this year, and came home empty handed. I got 2 so I'll start,
Wed. nite had a cold front coming in, very windy and out of the NW. So I took extra precaution before going out, showered sprayed both inside and outer layers the works, I was hunting an old logging road along a pasture fence line, 25yards in the timber,had 4 come in downwind, 2 yearlings directly below me, a nice doe 15 feet away, and a buck behind her, I was waiting on the buck to clear a tree when I heard a load crack, and turned to see a bunch of cattle moving down the fence row, looked back, and they all took off, back into the woods, OH well.
Next morning had 2 does come in at 5 yards, was a little rushed but managed to get a pin on the 2nd one, and released, missed, right over her back, dang, didn't allow for the close shot and aim lower, blew that one!
now it's your turn, lets hear them, I could use a few laughs after that one!
