I have 2 more days til the end of bow season and this is my 3rd year bowhunting without a deer. I decided I would settle for a doe. I have this big old homemade stand I hunt out of. About 8:30 a few does and a nice buck, out of range (naturally) ,come by and slip back into the timber unharmed,unspooked. About 9:15 this morning, 3 nice does come in, but only one is within range. I shoot and hit her low,probably in the brisket or that area with nothing but white fur and a very faint blood trail. We looked for an hour and a half before giving up. Will I be able to hunt this stand the remaining 2 days of season or give it a rest tomorrow and put the pressure on the last day? I haven't been skunked out of that stand yet. Oh ya, yesterday I also shot at a doe (and yes this is bad) 18 yards away and it was hurry-up now-or-never type of shot and I didn't follow through and the arrow dropped right below her. Have I worn out my welcome at this stand? I don't have much time, and taking a doe with a bow has been a little harder than I thought

Without passion.....Why bother?
