ORIGINAL: NY ARCHER
Hunted the opener and saw approx. 20 deer. mostly doe but there was 2 bucks. a small 4 pt. and a BIG 10pt. I missed at 30 yards or so. I guessed at 20 yards and it was actual 30 to 35. I shot right under his front left leg and the arrow hit a rock on the floor and went right up into a tree. That sucked !! all i saw was a white tail flying high. I got the arrow back, but the shaft had exploded at the insert. Anyways, I know he's there and know body has hunted there since maybe next saturday will bring me luck.

i take string and put a 30 yd mark on it..
i tie it to my stand and pull it tight at 30 yds,then i put a orange ribbon at that spot,i do this in 4 directions..
no way i will not know what yds are..doing this for 50 years.
no shots over 30 or buck walks,and a LOT have walked in 50 years..
fun is missing buck too, think of stories you can now tell..
i feel bad when i kill a big buck anymore but i still enjoy hunting ,so i keep doing it..
i just wish kids today could enjoy it too but a lot cant sit still, get cold and hungry..
we were raised tougher and thats more important today than it wasyears ago when we would see 5 to 10 buck a drive...
