Frustration
Over the past few days I have had several deer ,(1 buck, 6 does), in what would have been range,(30-35 yds), of my compound. I have set a 20 yd limitation on myself for the recurve. It is frustrating to think I could have killed one if I had my other bow. I knew going into this that the challenge would be greater but I'm getting impatient. I can only kill does on my lease during the archery only season and I really want to be sure to fill my freezer. I think I will take the compound out and make a freezer kill and then go back to trad.
Russell, (Ausie-guy), suggested I take both bows with me and use whatever is sufficient for the range required and I was going to do that. I changed my mind when I realized how much I'd be over complicating things. I think I just need to get the pressure off by getting one on the ground.
Sometimes I feel like I'll be cheating, other times it seems right for the goal of meat. I'm so wishy-washy.
