Well finally scored a buck this season. After 6 years of bowhunting this is my largest buck to date. Went out yesterday and set up a new a stand. At 4:45 I literally dropped my bow out of the stand [:@]...I have never dropped anything out of the stand. So I climbed down and inspected my bow and drew it a couple times and was satisfied it was ok. For some reason I decided to go ahead and climb back up for the last 20 minutes of day light. Got back up there at 4:55. At 5:05 at heard some noise behind me and hit the can twice and this guy came flying in. I let the Undertaker fly and he piled up less than 100 yards away.
So here's the lesson for the new guys...Never give up even if everything is going wrong just keep hunting.

at one point or another I have dropped every single item I carry out of a tree - except for myself - so just be happy it wasnt on a rock!
