This is where I was at last year. I hunt public land so not like I had 20 stands to hunt. I had a few close encounters but would not take the shot.
Also back to the first reply. I have and do practice with my broadheads I ant stupid. When I had the new sit put on I went out had it dead on and holding great groups out to 40 yards. This was 1 week before season so I left it alone till hunting season opened up. I figure with the rough gravel roads from the range then out and around to the hunting spot it just knocked it off alittle.
You asked me how many I killed and I guess I will ask you so how many with what weapon? Have you missed yet?

While Kreagerm is correct on the points he makes... He could still be a bit more tactful. We call those checks on our gear in the military PCCs (pre-combat checks). By all means they should be done EVERY time you go out. That said.. Keep your chin up and keep tryin. Keep practicing (especially shooting from an elevated position simulating shooting from a stand) and make sure you can make that shot when it's time. #1 tip that everyone will give you, keep an eye on the wind.
I went 4 years without a deer because I chose to pass on shots or just plain didn't see any deer where I could get a shot or whatever. I stuck with it and was rewarded for my patience. You'll get there.
