Choked on a chipshot for a doe Saturday. She caught me off-gaurd coming from the field instead of a ravine I was watching. Had to shoot sitting down and twisted but had practiced the shot. Something went wrong, think the string snagged on my ghillie suit. Flight looked weird and went over the does back. Arrow was laying on top of the ground behind where she was standing, not sticking in the ground. Almost got a redemption shot. The wind was really blustery and I don't think the doe knew what happened and she circled back around uphill and got about 15 yards away face-on and decided she didn't like it. She gave me a brief broadside but didn't want to chance a shot on a highly alert and nervous deer. Was a cold hunt 46 degrees with wind, dropped to 34 by morning. Definitely not the usually warm opening day.
