I just got back from hunting....

[Stinky_Hooker]

I just got back. I have bow hunted on and off over the course of the last 8 years or so. I have shot bows since I was probably 14. *My last bowhunting experience involving deer (before today) was when I was 17 (9 years ago.) I say "involving deer" because it has been since I was 17 that I had a deer within range of a bow and had a bow in my hand. I have always been DEADLY with a bow when it comes to target shooting. We all know though that a live target is very different. On that hunt 9 years ago I made a bad shot and lost a nice doe. I have for obvious reasons chosen a gun to make my kills since that time. Only recently have I had the opportunity to hunt a place that I might have the chance to see a deer here and there. I have killed a few off of it the last 3 years of hunting it. Nothing special, but good meat for the freezer.

Well guys I just got back from hunting this evening. I had a nice doe at 30 yards when I was reaching for my bow. At that point she caught the "blow" from another deer DOWNWIND of me and ran. I am sick!! It has been so long since I sat with a stick and string in hand ready to kill a deer and my "stinkyness" BLEW IT!!!


All I know is at least I had the opportunity to bask in her presense for a few moments before she left me faster than she appeared. Maybe next time. ;)
