We are going to the property here soon, sit on my stand while my dad does some work.. I will be after my target, Mr. Big, a massive 8 or 9 pointer, maybe he will be there tonight, if he isn't then i will have to pick off a doe or another buck or so... Wish me good luck! I will tell you about it later on tonight!!! God bless  |

hahahahahahah! Not me! Lol, i hate to dissapoint you again but i didn't kill us one..    However! I did come very very very close! A doe came up to me about 15 yards and hid behind some thick stuff, so i drew back because there was an open spot, and i knew that if she stepped there, she was gonna get drilled! I held my bow for 3 minutes and then without her moving i let it down, then i sat down and my clothing rubbed against my stand and she looked, stomped her foot and just stood there looking at me... Then in that instant she heard an acorn drop, and beind as skiddish as she was when my clothing rubbed she took off! Went 80 yards behind me! Then 20 minutes went by and then i caught the tail end of another! But it dissapeared behind a tree and i never heard, seen it again.. Not bad for a days hunt huh? so far after my dad taught me how late he stays out, i've been doing REAL well! Haven't been discouraged, frustrated or upset, instead i was happy and entertained to see and watch the doe, but then again i was hating it when she left, i said to myself "Gosh darnit! I think i spooked her!" kind of like the guys do on the tv hunting shows they talk to the camera lol! Yes i do talk to myself when i am alone lol! Who doesn't though? huh? anyway, i was sooooooo close to getting her, but that is why they call it hunting instead of killing..at least i seen something! and a close encounter it was! lol! There is always tomorrow! Good luck this season and god bless |

Discouraged huh? Surely the way i feel this evening! I missed another one  this time a spike, i knew the yardage and all but the first pin i saw on him i released.. My mistake! I feel like kicking myself in the rear! And what's bad, is my dad got one, and i at least wanted to get a deer beside him! I have the worst luck! It seems like everytime i go out there something messes up! *sighs* anyway, it will take a miracle to change my luck.. Everyone have a great evening (better than i have) and god bless |

that happened to my brother's friend, a worker of my dad, he had been missing all year last year and finally one of his arrows bounced off a tree or something and stuck the deer! but hey its the way you do it! This morning i seen one at the property, but i spooked it up when i tried to get into my stand, apparently we got out there too late... Oh well, that is life... I am over my little discouraged act... I am on with my life... I hate it when twigs, tree brances, and leafs are in your way! It seems like the deer always go behind something in front of you... They are smart like that  i wish you good luck 243 on your hunting, don't worry man, that isn't the only arrow you are going to deflect! I promise you that, just like this ain't gonna be the last deer i miss! Good luck hunting and god bless |
