The one 10 point, I bounced the friggin arrow right off his back. I was using my dad's old PSE back then which was like using a friggin recurve. Found my arrow with a little hair and a small chunk of meat about the size of a thumbtack. Brought it home, slammed it on the counter in front of my wife who was making breakfast and yelled "here! Fry this up!" Man was I pissed.
Atta boy :smiley_clap: congrats!
Walk it off Jake, walk it off. Shoot the bow a little bit tomorrow & get back after him!
Live and learn bubba. We all know that feeling. You'll get it done, tons of time left!
What he said!!!! We've all been there Jake.... Walk it off and get back up there....

We've all been there at one time or another. Suck it up buddy, you'll get another chance at him. I have all the confidence in you, Jake. Try the 3 second hold and release. Once you draw and pick a spot, count to three then release. This may help you stay solid in your shot. Good luck, buddy.

Sorry to hear that Jake. It will pass. Don't let it get to you.
I sat at a new property for the first time and it did not disappoint. I heard hard thrashing coming over the hill at me at a little after 6:00. A doe cut away from me at about 100 yards and was running hard. A second or two later a BIG buck came in tow right behind her. He wasn't dogging her, he was flat out running her hard. I could only glimpse him through the trees as they crashed through the brush but I could tell he was a no doubt shooter. I grunted and then wheezed at him but he never broke stride. About ten minutes later a buddy text me that he hit a good buck that had dogged a doe right in front of him. I just got in from helping him look for it to no avail. No blood, arrow...nothing. He said he watched it run of with the arrow stuck in his side. I am going to go look for him in the morning because he has to work. I would love to find it for him. Wish me luck.

Another beautiful morning, finishing off my potato skins and poppers then headed out. Gonna sit the same stand as Tuesday, if those does come by again one of them is gonna get shot!
Good luck out there today fellas. I'm grabbing Mickey Ds, then hitting the duck blind. Got subs chores to do this afternoon and trick or treat tonight. I'll be out tomorrow morning in one of my best stands. Supposed to be windy as hell today and calm as can be on the backside tomorrow. Should be a great morning!
