Default Bad Opening Day

ill start out by saying that im typing this with one hand at the moment....but lets go back to thismorning. I get into the stand alright, perfect wind an conditions. A doe walks up and is spooked by something off to the left somewhere. A little later 2 doe walk up and are spooked by the same thing. The 4th doe to come popped up out of nowhere so i had to shoot sitting down, i misjudged the distance and shot under it, lost my arrow. went back out tonite to move my stand closer to where the deer were coming from so id have a better shot. while sawing a limb i somehow hacked my left middle finger intantly filling both of my palms with blood. by the time i got back to the house i had some blood all the way down to my elbows. right now im waiting to see if it quits bleeding, hopefully it will so i dont have to get stitches. this better be healed enough to hunt saturday cuz thats when i plan to hunt again. grrrr...this is frustrating. lol, i hope the deer dont mind my blood trail up to the house. /

A bad day hunting is still better than a good day working.

Sorry about the hand and hopefully you' ll be well enough to get back out there Sat.
