Default RE: Missed!

Well we've all been there. Most of wern't lucky enough to capture in on film though. Starting out I had difficulty accurately judging yardages in the woods. It's certainly diffrent then out in the open but I learned to pick land marks and to use them as guides for estimating yardages. Deer size can play tricks on you. smaller deer look farther away and larger deer look closer but if you know a specific tre is 25 yards then you've got a landmark to judge distance by. When I hunt from my climber the first thing I do once I get my bow up and get seated is I look for landmarks to guide my shooting.

Keep at it and you should get some footage of spilled blood under you stand. I'm routeing for you and hope to see a post about a deer shot on video soon.
