RE: 39-Team "Drop Tine 39" Official Thread.
hopefully everybody has been too busy hunting to post on here lately. Well I took a buck last night but it was a buck I regret shooting. Definately some ground shrinkage. I doubt he will even hit 120 and only 2 1/2 years old. I've been a little frustrated the last week and I took it out on this buck. It was my worst hunting experience ever. Mr. Murphy showed himself in the form of a little twig and the arrow ended up just grazing his belly! Well you know what happens when you open up a deer like that. I was sick watching that deer just walk off with that kind of wound. We waited 2 hours and started tracking. We actually had a good blood trail that lasted well over a mile! I'm going to stop right here on the details and just say we had to finish this deer off when we walked up on him. I know things like this happen and I practice all summer long to minimize the chances of messing up a shot, but I feel like I should appoligize to every hunter out there for representing bowhunters in this manner. I've probably shot 10-12 does in the last few years but something always goes wrong when I shoot at a buck! Just a reminder, take your time and double check everything before you touch that release! Good luck to you all and stay safe.
