oh so close...
« on: November 07, 2015, 06:39:00 PM »
I have been seeing a few deer usually one or two every other sit the last few days. this morning I saw 2 does at 50  yards. it was very warm and humid and then the rain came. So i left and came home because the rain was supposed to continue into the night. Well i got home and took a nap and woke up about 2:30. No rain, and none on the radar for a while. So i got my stuff and headed to a small piece of property just down the road. As I walked in I saw a spike run away from me and I decided what the heck throw the stand up here, nothing else has worked. About 4:30 the wind picked up and temps dropped and I look to my right and down wind is a spike at 10 yds. He was nervous and he hid behind a pine so he could see me. He could smell something and he would not move. I could see his vitals but there was a twig or two that I would have to negotiate...I decided not to take that shot, he needed to take 2 steps and I would have a clean 10 yd shot. he never did it...he turned around and got out of there....I thought it was about to happen tonight guys...but it didn't..

Archery is a GAME OF INCHES!  "IF ONLY" was invented by a trad Archer, I'm sure!

Keeps the heart stimulated. Can't ask for more then that...but more will come.  Don't cut corners and no regrets!
The words "Child" and "terminal illness" should never share the same sentence! Those who care-do, others question!
