2 clean misses on bucks, both in my first year of archery hunting. The first was a 1.5 year oldbuck at a scrape. He was sniffing the tree trunk when I shot. My arrow clipped the overhanging branch and it fell into the scrape. I think I may have been admireing his headgear.[:@]
The second was a buck I saw as I was walking back to my truck. I had reached the edge of a field and he was following a doe across it in my general direction. He was a good sized buck too, 130" I bet.I thought he was 30 yards, he was more like 40+. Right under his chest.
That was the last time I missed a buck that I have launched an arrow at.
