Lost one...for now
Well I've been hunting daily since the opening of early bow, Sept. 27th, and I've only seen one button buck and one doe that I couldn't get a shot at. Last night at around 5:30 a small spike but big body stepped out, I was hunting my meat location on state land so I really didn't care about the horns. I waited about 5-10 minutes until he gave me a slightly quartering away shot at 20 yards. I knew I hit low and a little back but I wanted to hit a little back being quartering away. My arrow didn't pass through, but it was dang close. Probably only 5-6 inches didn't penetrate. I'm thinking I must of hit his shoulder on the far side, that's why it didn't pass through. Waited about an hour and a half and me and two of my buddies went tracking. We found good blood and tracked it for about a hundred yards when we stopped and decided to back out until morning. It's a horrible feeling, so I guess i'm just venting a little and seeing what you guys may think about my shot. Lemme have it if ya have some criticism, just don't beat me down too much, I already feel like a big ol' pile of stinky dog poop.
