That's ok. You got her... The thrill of the moment takes ove a lot of the time. And we forget that one important detail.
Good job sir!

Sean, did the same last yr, got the deer and pleased w everything but the shot...

[IndianaBowman]

Thanks Sean for a great hunt!  You were a fantastic host and a great cook. I loved hearing stories from your dad and your mom is a gem.

I had a fantastic hunt. I didn't see much for game, but I saw some beautiful country and shared camp with a great friend. I'd call that a successful hunt. Besides, any hunt where you go 50% is pretty awesome.

Without a doubt, if you had a "for sure" spot, you would've put me in it. That says a lot my friend. It just wasn't my time to kill a deer, most aren't for us traditional guys. If we only hunted when we knew we'd kill something we'd be staying home a lot.

Thanks again for sharing some of your family stomping grounds and for being such a gracious host.

Thanks for the kind word Terry. You have no idea how much I wanted to get you on deer. It was a pleasure having you there. thanks for the encouragement. I was beating myself up about the shot, that I wasn't enjoying the moment.

Special hunt buddy. Thanks

[Bobaru]

I believe this is the first post I've read of a successful deer hunt in the Catskills.  

Those mountains can call to a man.  How many times I've traveled the winding route 17 saying to myself, "one day, Bob, ya just gotta stop and get yourself lost up in one of those draws with your bow in hand."  

Great story.  Happy for your success.

Nice one Brother, I've hit them there (not meaning to) before and they don't go far. Beautiful country.

[Sean B]

Thanks all!!  Bobaru, I've done pretty well there over the last 35 years. I've gotten a lot of encouragement regarding my poor shot. I'm over it now and am enjoying reminiscing the hunt with a good friend.
