Wow! What a great story. I’m sorry it ended up the way it did, but you accomplished something most folks will never do, even with the miss. Better luck next time out.

Thanks for taking us along. Great pics, too.  If you haven't had an arrow find the small intervening branch that you missed while focusing on your spot,  you havent done much hunting.

Your story had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation. It's a credit to you that you accepted the experience for what it is.
I feel your pain. Those branches that save animals lives are all too common. To me it feels like deer have some sort of deflector shield that is impervious to arrows.

Next time...... :archer2:

What a great read with my morning coffee.  A reminder that a successful hunt is not always one with a harvest.  As a new traditional hunter I can very much appreciate the fact that my longbow is never an inconvenience,  never in the way, it just belongs with me in the woods.  Thanks for taking me along.
