Default RE: Let' s share some hunting stories!

Okay my one of my storys about the last deer i got a few years ago

it was mid oct. bow season the rut just starting I didnt get out to morning hunt stayed up all night by the camp fire. mid day around 3:00 p.m. i went to shoot my bow just before i go out to hunt i always shoot my bow and when i went to shoot it my string busted and hit me in the eye my eye was fine but i was mad. I rushed to town to buy a new string and asked the guy at the store to put it on for me. then i had to resite my bow in lucky it was not to far off then I drove like h#11 back to camp to get ready to go out it was 6:00 only a few more hours to hunt. i got my stuff and went out to my stand as i was going out i stoped there was a nice doe on my bait pile. i crouched down hoping she did not see me i could not belive she didnt hear me coming i was so loud walking out to my stand that day.It was very windy that day. i thout man what bad luck I was having first my bow then this. i was scared to move but i knew if i didnt try and stalk closer it would be to late to hunt so i crawed up about 10 yards or so where the deer was about 20 yards away she didnt even look i could not bealve it I hunt on state land and the deer hear spook easy.I was think if i should take the shot or not there where alot of ferns in my way and i only sited in my 15 yard pin in. I had a bad season all year not seeing many deer and made up my mind to take the shot it was so windy was scard of missing the deer and thats not like me so I drew my bow put my pin a little bit high and let it go the deer ran a little then stop looked around and ran off she never snorted or any thing i went to find my arrow to see if i hit her i missed.
by now i was feeling really bad i was thinking of going back to camp after all the sound i made looking for my arrow. then i was going to just stalk down the road
and try that. but my mom was hunting down that way and didnt want to spook her deer so i just went in my stand didnt think i would see any thing and was just planing on waiting till dark and go back to camp then i heard a sound. i slowly moved my head to see what it was it was a doe not the same one this one was a little smaller it went to my bait pile and i went to draw and it heared me or something and looked at me. i was at half draw and you bow hunters know how hard it is to hold your bow at half draw try it with you heart pumping a million milles a min. the deer finly went back to eating just in time or i would of had to let my bow go then i pulled my bow to full draw the deer turn now it was kind of on a angle to me faceing away so i had to hold my bow agian then it took a step back and turn a little giving me my chance. i let my arrow go and made a heart shot it ran about 40 yards and died then i gut it and draged it back to camp.
