Went bow hunting this afternoon at the leased place. 2:40 this doe starts heading my way. At 3pm she on the corn pile 15 yds away. The problem is she's facing me. I know some might try shots down through the back, but i'm not comfortable with that shot so I'm waiting for her to turn. She also has to look away from me so I can come to full draw. About 5 mins goes by when she finally looks away. I come to full draw, but she doesnt turn. After 2 mins i'm starting to lose it. If I let down she'll see me. Well, im just about to let down and she pivots left and gives me the vitals.

Well, I shot high. Put the arrow about 1 inch below the spine right up to the fletching. She trots off. I gave her an hour before I got down. I was praying for lung blood, but nope, as I feared, I hit nothing vital. I fould my arrow about 100 yds away. Its covered with blood, but in perfect shape. She probably pulled it out. I followed the trail about 250yds before I lost it for good. I also lost light.

My dad and I going back tomorrow in the AM, but I dont have much hope. There wasnt much blood. I lost the trail 4 times and had to crawl multiple times to fine it again. And, where I last lost it, the woods gets very open and you can see a long ways. I circled around twice after dark and found nothing.

Well, I feel sick, but must now put a good face on for my wife since its new years. There's no excuse, I just phucked the shot and shot high. Im snake bit.

I hope everyone else has a good night. I wont.
