giving a deer a hair cut
well tonight was the last night for shotgun season. i saw a doe about 20 yards from me. i thought yes, i am going to finally get a deer. i took the shot and she took off. i was so pissed off i missed again for the second time this year. i was so close there was a pile of white hair but no blood. to make it worse i moved to hide in some hay bales in the field hoping deer would come out to feed. heard a twig snap looked over there she was again 10 yards from me. she saw me move and took off.

RE: giving a deer a hair cut
Don' t feel bad DH ,
last year I gave a nice little 6 point " a little off the top" myself . After analyzing the shot later I found the reason(s):
Too much powder , sights too high , embarassingly close range .
All I found was a spray of hair .
Buck fever takes it' s toll sometimes ... [X(]
