I made the 4.5 hour drive to meet my friend Shane Sat. Morning. I promptly went to hang my stand the evening hunt so we could get to work and let that settle. I ran 3 deer off trying to hang my stand. >:(
Went back to work moving some stands, setting up some stands and doing a few things on the property with Shane that he needed my help with.
We stopped and ate lunch and I got in the stand about 2pm.
It was a gorgeous afternoon and nice and cool too. I didn't see anything until about 430 pm when four deer came in almost at the same time...they came in the plot right under me and milled out in to the food plot. All were nice looking 100 lb plus does. I watched them for a little while to see if anything else would come in. As 3 of them made their way out of range I figured I needed to make a shot on the last one close enough before she did too. As she made her way to my left I prepared myself for the shot. I got the bow up while she was looking away and made my draw. It was perfect...what every bow hunter dreams of...a beautiful, cool afternoon, a nice deer quartering away at 15 yards so I let her fly. As my beautiful Gold Tip arrow with white cresting and a Lunenok made its way to the deer I was preparing for fresh T-loins. I had the gravy on it and everything. While the arrow embarked upon its mystical flight towards the beast (I know too much Nuge TV for me ::) ) I pictured myself and the Mrs. frolicking towards one another in a field of daisies while I had a frying pan of fresh cooked venison in hand. She was running at me with only a fork and steak sauce while yelling "oh my sweet manly man that brings home to "beef" Ill do anything for you!! What would you like?".. :D ....about that time my concentration was broken by a THUD and an arrow sticking in the dirt. :-X
It was then that I noticed that my net face mask had obstructed my view through the peep site and I had used my 30 yard pin on a 15 yard shot. >:(
I wont hunt again untill Thanksgiving holidays due to the wife's birthday this coming weekend. At that point gun season will have started so I am going to put the 7mag SMACK on a doe. 8)
Maybe then Ill pick up that stupid piece of $#%^ bow again. ;D
