This will also be my 3rd year hunting and I am still waiting on my first bow kill. I got a shot on a doe opening day last year but the blood trail just disapeared. We had people looking from 7:00 in the morning till 9:00 that night for that deer and we just couldnt find her. I was so dissapointed. I did get a nice oppportunity at a nine point later on but I aimed too low and sent the arrow right under him.
I did manage to find my doe a couple months later in a big brushy pile, not much left after the coyotes got to her, but she was probably only 100 yards from my stand. Hopefully I have better luck this year.
