Default RE: enough to make a grown man cry...

ORIGINAL: lucky_shot



Friday morning: 2 does snuck up behind me directly down wind from my stand. one snorted and ran the other young doe stood there and tried to spot me. after 5 minutes of trying to turn around to get a shot she walked behind me and continued up the hill.

Friday evening (new location): set my outhouse blind up about 2pm in some hardwoods. on the other side of the creek i saw 3 does that never paid any attention to me but still to far for a shot. they went up aways and crossed the mouth of the lake.

Saturday morning: 3 does came in from the back side and caught me reaching for my xbow, snorted and headed for the hills.

Saturday evening: saw 1 doe cross the mouth of the lake again.

Sunday morning(here is the crying part): i got in my blind kinda late this morning. i unzipped my door set my xbow inside and climbed in. i put my gloves and mask on and started to take my coat off when i noticed movement out of my left window that was open about 3". i saw 3 of the biggest bucks less than 20 yards from where i sat. when they headed behind/left of the blind i unzipped the window and raised the xbow. if it aint my luck when i raised the bow i hit the side of the blind and spooked them. they went up the creek about 40 yards and started looking for me, then crossed the creek and never looked back. now looking back i wish i would have taken the 40yd shot, better luck next weekend i guess.



Thats why its called "hunting" ...its a tuff pill to swollow but if it were easy EVERYONE would be doing it ...Im sure you learned something from all these close encounters ...dont let it get you down we ALL go through them!
