Default I shot a deer...

Sunday night I was out hunting and I was really bored and wasn't hearing anything, in fact I even fell asleep in my blind (the first time ever). Shortly after waking up I hear this grunt, and I instantly picked mine up and grunted back. By then I noticed there was a doe and a buck coming in downwind of me. So I was thinkin theywere gonna bust me or something but for some reason they didn't and I ended up with a good 20 yard shot at him. As soon as I drew back the doe saw me and flipped out alittle, so just as I release my arrow the buck starts looking over my way and probably sees me release. I believe he ducked and I shot a little high, cause my arrow zipped right through his backstraps. []It was perfect left and right though. long story short it was my first shot at a deer and I didn't get him... he was a 3x5(neet shape with his fifth pointbeing a2inch kicker)about 16" wide, we've got much bigger deer but I was really itchin to shoot. We tracked for about 4 hours, and only found the arrow and two drops of fatty blood. Next time I'll get 'em.Good luck to all this season!
