<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>aint it great. That's what makes bowhunting so great. You just never know what's gonna happen. Frustrating? You bet, but satisfying none-the-less and I'm greatful for every second I can spend doing it.

I happened on a feeding mule deer in the Sierras about 8 years ago. When I spotted him he was about 40 yards away from me with a gravel logging road and some open space as well as a very large bush between us. I managed to sneak within a few feet of the animal but in order to do so I had to keep the large bush between him and me. Once I got there, I was on one side of the bush and he on the other and was way too close to move into possition for a shot. I could only sit there, arrow nocked, ready to rock and watch him feed. I knew the hunt was over when I felt the breeze touch the back of my neck and then he was gone. I consider it one of my most successful hunts even though I didn't get to take home the meat.
