Well, I screwed it up real good!

Hunted hard the entire 15 days of the archery season and passed on several decent bucks (130-150 class). Yesterday morning the stars aligned and a big heavy horned 28" 4x4 that would easily score in the 180's came walking past my ambush spot 10 mins before sunrise. He was coming thru tall grass and cedars so I couldn't get an accurate range on him with my rangefinder. I guessed him at 38yds and buried my 40 yd pin right behind the front shoulder. My arrowed sailed about 1-2 inches over his back, he was standing at 33 yds. You work so hard for opportunities like this and to miss a layup like that is going to sting for a long time!

That sucks. What unit?

Sorry to hear that. Sure makes you want to bang your head against a tree when we mess up like that!!! LOL!

Bummer, hope you get a do-over one day.

That's archery hunting. Like JRABQ said, "hope you get a mulligan."

 

[NMPaul]

Michael, my heart cant take archery hunting much anymore. I feel for you.

I have missed a few layups myself. That is why I wrestled. Oh the misses hurt. It is what keeps you going though.

Just remember if it was easy, there would be a bunch of little girls out there in skirts doing it!
