Well after about six hunts three in the middle of oct. three last week

I went out this morning it was 60 when I went out and was to be 65 so I thought the temp increase and low wind would make for a good hunt

I got out 30 mins beforethe sun started up. About time it started getting light I saw two deer a doe and a buck nice size in a field 70 yards in front of me. 20 or 30 mins later I saw 5 more deer in the field.
While I was watching them a big doe properly 150 pounds and I mean big came in around my right side.
Just like the doe on opening dayI reach for my bow clipped my release

When I clipped my release she looked at me I froze. She went back to messing around walked around and quartering away. I draw and set my 20 yard pin right on her kill zone. I never had the shakes as bad as that moment. I steadied and let the arrow go. She ran about 30 yard up stopped stumped around looked back at me. I thought she is going to drop after running 30 yards toward my truck. I thought great 30 less yards I got to drag her. She started walking fast not quit running toward the field away from me and my truck I did not care though.
She got in the field a buck ran up to her and she ran off again walking fast but not running went in a 20 yard wide wood strip and did not go out the other side.

I am thinking I finally got oneand a big doe I could have cared less that it was not a buck.

When she ran the first time I let of a call on my primos can and could not use it because I was shaking and it was not sounding right so I quit.
I set there for an hour and when all thedeer had gone I get down.
Walk to be my arrow no blood no arrow just like the doe I shot over the first day. I found the arrow right under were she stood sticking about4 inches in the dirt angling slightly up which saved my fetches so that was good. I new since there was no blood on the arrow I missed. I wonted to cry go get on my stand and jump off.

But I did not loll I got back up and stayed for another hour then left

I felt better missing a big doe then I did last week when I saw nothing for three days. I was wondering were the rut was but after seeing 12 to 15 deer to day having the miss and having a small 4 point come right down the trail I came down with out smelling me which means my scent control is working. He walked off 10 yards out of my shooting area to the left. But I can not shot buck on the land anyway. So I would nothave shot him and he was too little

I am not to upset I missed at least I wont be to shaky next time I hope

Sorry this is so long but wonted to make sure I told you guys everything so you can tell me if I did everything wrong.

Also I had been using a Dom buck cheap urine and code blue doe estrus and I did not use either today to see if that’s why I was not seeing anything and I saw 15 deer so I think I might stay away from the urine scents for a spell to see if it is why
If you shoot and miss a deer and it is the only one that spooks how long will you stay in the woods or will you leave
