Good idea sticking with the bow and I think staying over your plot would be a good idea too. Good luck tonight hopefully a buck will step out for you

Congrats schu!
Got 2 more today. I'd go back tomorrow but they are done.
We did have a run in with a wildlife inspector. My buddies dad told him about that big buck in the refuge and after inspecting the carcass, he actually issued a salvage tag and allowed him to go in and get it. I'll have to post a pic in a little while.
Saw at least 35 to 40 deer on the way home. I'll have to get out tomorrow.

For the second time this year (after two years without pulling back) I came to full draw on a deer. Again, a doe, but this time I decided to actually shoot. However, my bow had other ideas. The arrow squeaked as I pulled back so the doe looked in my direction. I then tried to set the pin, but the peep was twisted so I couldn't see through it. I twisted it with my nose but with there only being four minutes of legal shooting light left and me having the cheap TruGlo sight that came with my bow, I couldn't see the pins because they weren't bright enough. Kinda sucked to have the bow screw me up (my fault that the bow screwed up, but still the bow) with my first legitimate shot opportunity at a deer I wanted to take in three years of bow hunting. I also had some dude I don't know shoot a doe 100 yds from me with a shotgun, drive past me in a four wheeler, and then drive back past dragging the deer at 3:00. I'm surprised I even saw a deer. Sorry about the long post, but it was a beautiful, frustrating night.
Thanks,

Sounds like an exciting hunt regardless! As you found out tonight, there are a million little ducks to keep in a row when bow hunting. Better luck next time!
Congrats Schu!
Teenbowhunter- Every screw up I have had in the woods has taught me something. Chalk up another learning experience bud. You will get it done soon enough and every experience like tonight's will make your first bow kill that much more rewarding.

Haha thanks guys, not gonna forget this one anytime soon. Might head out again tomorrow depending on how many people the LO says are gun hunting there. Is there a easy way to fix the peep? It rotated bc I changed the draw weight on the bow
I killed my buck on the same amount of sleep! Hang in there man, good things come too guys who hunt hard! Teen bow hunter, hang in there man.

I saw another one of those bucks id kill most years. He was all i saw. My neighbot just missed a buck behind my house, said it wasnt a giant,just a nice buck. Ive heard more shooting today than i did all week.
Going to shower up and head out shortly. Don't plan on shooting anything but video. Carrying my shotgun. Never know when a coyote shows up. Probably have one of my target bucks bed at 20yds or something stupid. Really just doing some recon for the land owner. Pretty sure some people are slipping in the backdoor of the property.

Sitting on top of a brush pile overlooking some corn that was planted as a food plot and surrounded by tall grass and trees. Nobody has hunted this spot all week and the weather is awesome! Hoping a nice doe will wander out just before dark.
