thanks for the replies guys
im a big natural blind ground hunter and i practice as such
i set up false limb blinds at 30 and 40 yards, my twenty i just practice as standing because there is less chance of error and it gives me space for those 30s and 40s which are usually practiced on my knees
i think this was a simple case of inexperience, i put the 30 on her and after pacing it out i found it to be at about 38. my heart was pumping after getting skunked on this certain piece of property since the beginning of the MD archery season (Mt. Nebo WMA, western MD) they seem to be coming out of bedding just after proper shooting light as well, i have the tru glo lighted pins but i feel i laid too much trust in my equipment and not enough in myself. the darkness, im sure, led me to misjudge. but i found my spot last night. there is alot of good doe action there... hmm.. from what ive read does this mean big buck action during our rut??
