I'm brand new to bow hunting. Did some gun hunting when I was a kid out west, always at 100 yd+ distances.
Last week I had a buck walk to about 22 feet from me. I was pretty much out in the open, with just enough bare twigs between him & me to keep me from getting a good shot off. What stopped him was hearing my (too excited) breathing. I'd hold my breath and he'd go back to grazing, i'd breathe & he'd look right through me. This happened 3 times before he got uncomfortable enough with the mysterious breathing to turn around and walk back the way he came. Did I mention he was looking right through me?
I'm gonna keep wearing camo...
