Sorry, My bad I should have been clear, and I probably (OK I did) post in the forum. This is the only hunting forum that I post on. I was shotgun hunting! To be honest I wasn't thinking when I sat down on the ground by a hunting shack. I had on a full head to toe blaze Orange jump suit on! any fool could see me from 3 miles away! We walked in the woods at 3:00 (it got dark at 5:00) and pretty much did tie-Bo getting the brush out of the way and clearing a place to sit. I looked in the shack and it didn't appear to have anyone in it, and I sat on the opposite side of the tree from the shack which was on the other side of a food plot. I sawa buck and 4 doe. They were not on my land andI did not shoot at any of them. I also had the foresight to get behind the tree when the deer started moving between me and the shack. It was a mistake I shouldn't have made and wont make again. In fact, we know the people who own the other land and I called to see where everyonewas hunting. She told me no one whaton top and hunt by the shack. 5 minutes after we sat down out they come with a decoy and got in the shack. IMOVED!!!
IDO NOT!!! EVER!!!!! want to wound an animal!! I have hunted for 14 years and this was the first year I shot! I got my first deer with a bow. A 10 yrd open shot and the deer only went 50 yards. I relivethat moment over and over in my head and all i can think iswhy didn't I shoot again! I have to live with the fact that i may have only wounded the biggest white tail buck I may ever see! I am really sad about both of those things. I should have clarifiedI was shooting with a shotgun, not a bow. I had just had a verybad day and i was venting.[code]
