I think you all know where this is going. I was in four foot grass overlooking a small short grass channel that had three trails leading into it. from my spot I could hit any deer that entered that clearing at no more than 40 yds. Well, come sunset, 15 minutes before legal quitting time, i got up and walked over to the three trail cluster. Spooked 4 deer that were about to emerge from the woods.
So, I headed back, come around a fence, and there are three more headed my way. One of them didnt see me, but he was facing me and I had no shot. When he did turn, there was a nice branch in the way. After holding full draw for a good ten minutes, I let down, and he ran off.
So, I get to my truck, and there stand two massive does. Between me and my truck. So there I am, irritated as hell with myself, seriously contemplating taking a shot even though I know the arrow is gonna pass through and nail my truck. I go to nock an arrow, and both look right up at me, tails wagging, ears perked. So I put the arrow back in the quiver, and just yelled them off and drove home.

Moral of the story? If you are going to sit in one freakin spot for hours, dont friggin quit 15 minutes early.
