RE: So So close to an Indiana bruiser this morning
Good restraint on your part and it sounds like that was the right decision.
On one hand, I hate to hearhow close you came but yet it didn't all come together, and on the other hand, I am sitting here thinking, isn't bowhunting great.
The uncertainty, the anticpation and the disappointments that come about because of a few too many yards in distance or the wrong angle, or getting busted trying to draw,etc.etc, thats what ultimately separates it from gun hunting and makes it what it is.
I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but for me, my fondest memories of bowhunting revolve around "almost" situations such as you described as much, if not more than my actual kills.
Good luck in closing the deal on this bruiser or his close cousinin the near future.
