Default I blew it boys!!!

I decided about 8 years ago to hunt all season with a bow. Reason being, I really wanted to kill a P&Y. Well, I have shot a couple of bucks over the years that never made and seen a couple that did but just couldn't get the shot. I live down in S GA and these opportunities are few unlike Illinois and other places. Well, this morning I finally got my opportunity at a real nice 10 pt probably 135"s. He came in at 30 yrds adn I aimed center 10 instead of low and, you guessed it. Shot right over the top of him after he dropped about 8 inches before my arrow got to him. He only ran about 30 yrds and stopped and then kind walked off. I am headeing back in the morning. I sucks but thats what makes bowhunting fun. All my buddies laugh taht I still hunt with a bow during the rut instead of a rifle. I just tell them that one day its going to happen and it will all be worth it. I just came so close this morning. I just hope he comes back.
