Bucks make me stupid

[ChuckC]

Early in my career, I shot at a nice buck that wasn't 15 yards away ( I was on the ground, he was stopped, broadside, looking across the creek that was away from me).  

Nice smack sound, buck jumps and runs.  It was only then that I noticed the fence post right in front of where he WAS.  I found my arrow easy enough though !

Many times I seriously felt that I was too dumb to continue with this bow and arrow stuff... maybe it is proof that I am dumb cuz I keep trying ....at 68 yrs old it is easier to laugh about it.

Luckily does make bucks stoopid.  

So you just have to put the time in and sit quietly until the magic moment comes along.

I did almost the same thing last year on a 8 pointer walking behind me to my front on the left at about 10yds,,,, I tried to stand when he was perfectly to me left!!!!! what an idiot I was after all these years I pull a newbie mistake like that,, if I sat there for 10 more seconds and let him pass I would of had a nice quartering shot directly in front of my stand....

it bothered me till I got home and then on to the next,,, I luv bowhunting there is nothing like it.
