Option #1 When bow hunting I have learned that anything you have to do in a hurry usually does not work.

Your kill zone is usually 20yds deep (10-30 yds).

A feeding deer takes a WHILE to cover that distance - Plenty of time to slowly stand up and slowly draw the bow back and carefully take aim and gradually take up the tension on the release to make a clean harvest.

OR

Option #2 OH POOP : There is a deer ,where did he come from?, I have got to jump up RIGHT NOW (oops, I knocked my hat over my eyes), hurry,hurry- pull the bow back - oops the arrow fell off the rest(carefully use your index finger to put it back on), OH NO he heard the arrow fall off the rest, he is going to run!!!, Hurry aim at him, How far is he?, His tail is twitching he is going to run!!!!!!!!!!, OH NO which pin do I use ?, Screw it, I see brown in the sight ring Quick ---YANK the trigger.

Not to bad a shot - I saw it go in right behind the shoulder

Well maybe it was a little further back than I thought.

Good thing I was using Slick Tricks they kill like magic !

Hmmmm , Where is my arrow, it must be here some where.

Heck with it, I saw the arrow hit I KNOW it must have gone through the ribs and is stuck behind the opposite shoulder - DOUBLE LUNGER-

Well this shouldn't take long it has got to have been 30 minutes (CUZ I am in a hurry is seems like 30 but 10 is closer to it) AND I am hungry I wonder what mom has for supper?

Lets see he ran over that way -

Three hundred yards and still no blood (I knew I shouldn't have listened to those Butt Holes over at Archery talk.com, MAGIC Slick Tricks my ass.

Well it has been 10 minutes, I have throughly searched 300 yds of the toughest terrain in the area and it is getting dark, no blood and I need some help, I know I saw that arrow go in right behind the shoulder.

"Hey MOM, Whats for supper?"

"Did I get one ?

"Yea, I Watched the arrow go in right behind the shoulder"

"After I eat I am going to get some help and go get him."

"Boy Mom that was really great"

Subject: What went wrong ? {ENTER}

I was in my favorite tree stand and this huge 8 point came walking by.

I took a deep breath and squeezed off a shot (First animal with my new ****)

I watched the arrow go right behind his shoulder

AND GUESS WHAT

NO blood.....................................



When I get up in the tree stand I don't get settled in and get started on the New York Times.

I will sit still and hunt as hard and as long as I can, then, lets face it It gets a little boring.

By this time the sun is up, the leaves are crunchy and my stomach is growling.

Yep, 10 AM and time for a snack, 2 granola bars and an apple (Threw the core near the trail for a scent attractor), Need to pee into that damn bottle (I hate that thing,every time I use it, NO matter how much I shake my thing I always get a few drops running down my leg)

Alright lets read that book I brought, I have been doing this long enough that if I hear or see one I can go to option #1 instead of option# 2.

Boy, isn't experience GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
