I shot too high on 2 deer, either not picking a spot like Chad said, or just didn't get it done. I shot under one nice buck - still haven't figured out that one !
I'm very picky on my shot selection. I actually do it "right" the best I can tell.
Example - I hunted the last 2 1/2 days. Each day I had deer aroound my stand. I wanted the perfect shot and actually tried to draw twice, both times something happened that didn't allow shot. All the deer were spookier than normal. I don't like shooting at jittery deer. Either the deer were off to my right, angled wrong, head up and alert, branch in the way ........ with a compound I'd have tagged out this week !
Thats why its bowhunting. I didn't take a poor shot, I waited, bid my time, and it just didn't happen. Once time an old doe and two fawns came in, and I wanted that doe. I passed every possible shot imaginable on those 75 pound fawns, waiting for that doe to give me "the" shot.
Didn't happen
