RE: Alright, who didn't get them a deer this year?
 

i have yet to kill a deer with a bow, have been at it about 4 years, the last three pretty intense; have had plenty of good shot, passed up on them do to the fact they were young bucks with lotsa potential,

haven't killed a deer with shotgun for 2 years now, after taking at least one the last 5

had a great opportunity to take a doe in december this hunting season, but she had 2 yearlings standing right behind her and i just couldnt bring myself to take their mother. and of course form then on i saw them everytime i went out.

This was my first year hunting with a stick and string in 13 years. I passed on more than a dozen p&y mule deer that were in range and never knew I was around. I was hoping for one of the numerous 175-190 deer we had scouted on this ranch. I drew my bow twice--the first was a 27" 4X4 with a 5'' drop tine. Unfortunately, he never stopped and 44 yrd was too far to risk any kind of moving shot. The second close oppurtunity was a 30" 4X4 we had put a 2 mile stalk on. We got within 15 yds but had no shot because of intervening brush. When he finally cleared the brush, he turned straight for me and we had a stare down. I was not able to hold the bow drawn for more than a minute or so and he bolted when I let the bow down. I was unwilling to risk the 27 yrd straight on shot. I put a stalk on a different 175 plus buck every day of the 8 eight days I hunted. I got witin 80 yds of several 180 class bucks, and within a hundred yards of 190+ ypical 4X4. Was the hunt a failure because I didn't tag a buck? Does it make me a loser? Far from it, it may have been the best hunt of my life! Spot and stalk hunting for monster mulies with a bow! Can hunting get any better than this?
