After yet another failed chance at harvesting a deer,being so close to getting a shot, it got me thinking and kinda pisses me off. I am still looking for my second archery kill. I've learned so much in the field and from this site and others along with the members. I take it personal when a deer gives me the slip as I m cussing and scratching my head wondering where I messed up. In a two week span I could of killed 10+ deer IF I was hunting with a gun. But the shots presented I didn't feel comfortable with or just the lack of shot opportunities for a bow hunter are to me the thing that draws me deeper into the sport. I started out gun only hunting and took my fair share of bucks but there is nothing like playing a intense game of cat and mouse wit ANY deer. This year I could of went gun hunting and did drives and had my buck but that just doesn't appeal to me any more not that I have anything against it, I just prefer to hunt this way myself. I am a realistic man and would love to shoot a big mature buck but a mature doe or average doe will put me on could nine too! There is nothing like just sitting there in a woods and scanning back and forth for hours just to see a deer that may or may not come into range. I get doe fever when I see a doe coming my way lol. I hope to be at your guys level some day but I am happy where I am right now and I guess that's what it's about. You gotta play your game and live up to your resonable expectations not what some ones does or thinks whats right. So basically I am saying I am happy shooting whatever I get a chance at this point in my hunting career a far cry from what is put out in the media these days. I am taking today and tomorrow off and hitting again sunday more......peace out
