Well guys, this year was my first time bowhunting and my first time deer hunting. At about 9:10 am this BIG 6-point buck I have been wanting to take all week shows up out of no where about 50 yards away. So I am able to grunt him in to about 20 yards perfect broadside. Between the adrenalin and the 30 degree weather about 15 degree wind chill I was shaking so badly I shot right underneath him[:@]. However, he didn't see where it came from and only ran about 40 yards away and walked into the woods unphased by the whole thing. Needless to say I was really disappointed in myself and all the practice I put into my first season. I was just wondering if you guys think I might have another chance at him or not. Ever since saturday morning I can't help but keep replaying that moment in my mind and getting mad at myself for missing him!! Anything you guys can say to make me not feel as much of a failure would be awesome. Thanks for taking the time to read my screw up.
Im in your boat mate, i missed mine as well.
Except my arrow skinned the belly.
I will get another chance on the 21 - 27
