Just got in from a morning in the woods in 4G. A good morning that could have been great. It was warm and foggy and at 7:45 a big bodied 8 point came out of the fog straight to me. He made a scrape and went back out to the field edge. I grunted him back in and got a nice broadside shot at 17 yards. I shot right underneath him and saw a bit of white fur fly, my heart sank. I checked my shot and arrow, no blood, fat or flesh so at least I didn't wound him, thank God! He either jumped my string or I clipped a twig or just made a poor shot.
I was after this same deer last year and got a shot on him Nov. 1 2008, 363 days ago. I know, I suck! I'll be back out after him this afternoon but how many chances will I get? 2 shots in 2 years on the same buck............
