Default Ever feel like you blew a chipshot?

I sure do......


I had the PERFECT opportunity to join the Nanny Whacker club for a second time this year. I was planning on going to the new farm I have to hunt this morning but I layed down last night at 6pm just thinking I would take a nap. I just happen to wake up at about 20 after 6. Well, I guess I'll go to the spot near my house. I get dressed, get ready to walk outside and said, man I'm aweful tired, maybe I should just catch up on some sleep. I talked myself back into going, I get settled into my stand about 645ish. About 7am, I hear something running up the hill towards me, I knew it was deer, more than one. It was still dark, and it sounded like they were about 50yds out. Then everything stopped and I never heard them again. Fast forward to 720. I hear something walking and then I see a deer moving my way. At 7;20, the sun is up here. I put the binos on it, BIG Mature doe, with 2 fawns that were out of spots tagging along. She follows the trail 20yds to my left. I draw back while she's walking, she steps into an opening, I give her a mouth grunt, she stops, I ATTEMPT to put the pin on her. Set the release off and it goes right over her. My heart sank. I just couldn't quiet see the pins. The Spott Hogg is DEFINATELY going to have a light on it. I got another arrow knocked and she stopped again at about 35yds. She was behind some brush. I just let her go on her way, she got about 65yds out and blew a couple times. I guess it just wasn't supposed to happen. []


On a good note, I have been seeing ALOT of deer at the new farm, with quiet a few in bow range. Just waiting on a good buck. Here's a picture of a spike I let walk yesterday.Sorry for the pic quality it was with my phone. Hard to tell but he was about 15yds out.
