Learned a ton today
Today, went out at 3 30 didnt see anything till 4 40 when the squirrels started goin nuts. I wait and about 10 minutes later a black cat runs about 40 yards from me and goes in a bean and corn fence line. Its out there for about 30 minutes then it come in the woods. I asked the guy if i was hunting with if i could shoot it, on the walkie talkie. he says no and it goes over by him. 5 minutes pass and i look over at him and he is standing up. i look at where he is lookin and i see a white rack. i stand up and keep watching. he shoots and i hear a loud crack and the buck takes off towards me. It stops 10 yards in front of me and looks back at him. I pull back when the buck looks at me. I look through my peep sight which was twisted and i see brown so i let it go.The deer takes off and i can barely wait to get out of the stand. I get down and look and nothing is on the arrow and the guy i was with didnt find anything on his arrow but his arrow was broke. This is my 1st time in 3 years of bowhunting getting a shot and my 1st shot had to be on the biggest buck i have ever seen while hunting.

learned not to shoot at things because u never know when the big boy is gonna come out. also that u dont have to shoot something to be a successful hunt. i am so pumped even tho i missed. this is only my 3rd shot in 4 years of hunting with a bow and a gun.

The part that bothered me was "saw brown and let it go". There is a lot of brown on a deer.
Walkie talkies illegal? Where is this? I never heard of that.

Like you can't get on the radio and say "Ok, Bob, you've got deer coming your way, get ready."
