depressing.......but thats just hunting.....
well i went our for a few hours after school today with my bow and set up on a log on a know well used trail...about 5:15 i saw a doe coming down the trail and let it pass me....i hit the "lil can" doe bleat and about 30 seconds later a NICE 8 or 9 pt buck came stompin down the trail...i dropped to one knee, drew my bow, waited for him to get in the clearing, grunted and stuck it to him....it was a lil far back in the liver at 20 yards away and the arrow sunk in him (not as deep as i hoped), the deer trotted off with my arrow as if nothing happened to him....i found a few drops of blood where he was when i shot but with every frggn leaf on the ground bein red i couldnt find any more...i waited about 30 minutes and started up the trail that he took...i ran out of daylight and never found my trophy......this would have been not only the biggest deer ive shot yet but my first with a bow...im goinf back tomorrow after school to continue looking.....
