Epic fail #3 ....can’t kill a blind buck

[Gbr5pb]

I’d be right back in same stand! He ain’t spooked too bad and sounds like you might have a doe in heat. It won’t last long

 

[ugajay]

Man what a hunt! I know the feeling of the excitement and slow motion you talked about. I know you were disappointed but that's why it's hunting and not killing!!! Get back out there and maybe the ending of the story changes for you. Good luck!

Shot the wrong pin a few times until started shooting a pendulum sight! Probably the only person on here that does but 0-30 yards don’t even think about it! 60-70 deer later too old to change

You’ll always remember that. I did it twice in one afternoon back about 20 years ago. I remember that in more detail than most of the ones I hit.

Anyone with your determination is going to have a change of luck sooner or later, and I'm rooting for you. Like the wind, things have a way of coming around.

It ain’t over yet......the support is mighty appreciated btw.

 

[Mr Bya Lungshot]

Bfriendly you have to put some luck in your pocket sometime.

 

[flatwoods]

Great story.
That's what its all about.
I don't care much about killing them anymore. Them stories is enough!

 

[davidhelmly]

That is tough!

That is also why I went to a single pin setup 25 years ago. I would get excited and forget to separate the pins and shoot over deer all the time.

Best of luck you still have a few days

We feel exactly the same about sights.

Once again these are the things that make us love bow hunting

Has anyone seen my pet deer. He jumped out his pen. I fear he may have some plastic stuck in his antlers!

Dang I hate that it happened like it did. Hard lessons are just that Hard Lessons.

Trying to figure out what to learn from this. Patience comes to mind! I’ve had so many replays and second guesses......Monday quarterbacking myself to death. But it was way more fun and exciting than disappointing. I keep reminding myself of the opportunities rather than the lack there of. My first 3 or 4 years hunting I don’t think I ever saw a deer.

You sound just like me when I fail to make something happen. I feel you on how rare it was to even see a deer in the early days. Just seeing the flag of a deer running away was a note worthy event.

 

[bfriendly]

I’ve grown up to believe in taking something good from any event.......Learning something from all failures. Without failures you cannot have success.....if I ever succeed at this deer hunting thing, it will surely be an Epic success!

 

[bfriendly]

I never mentioned this, but when I saw the plastic over his face I had doubts as to wether or not I should even try to kill him..........many thoughts raced through my mind.
