Saw them. Had them close.  Just no shots were presented.  Drives a guy nuts.

I had one shot opportunity, which did not end well.  The doe made a goofy twisting jump at the moment I released, and it resulted in a bad hit and a lost animal.  Maybe I'll get one with trad gear in the 2012-2013 season.

I had to resort to killing a 1 1/2 y/o basket rack 8 point, but at least I got my backstrap and sausage!

I struck out this year.  Saw deer each time I hunted, but never close enough to take a shot, though I would have with non-trad.  No regrets about that - I only regret not having had more time to try.

I got skunked this year too, would've had deer piled up if I had used a gun but where's the fun in that?

Not I. I didn't even get in the woods ONCE. It was a sad sad year. Hopefully this year I can work something out

Had very few deer in bow range last fall, and the one opportunity I had for a shot was on a doe that busted me when I started my draw.

No shots 2010 or 2011. Plan on making up for it in 2012. Shoulders on the mend and its raining in June. Can't get better than that.

Didn't take any shots early on. Saw a nice 8 point and hunted him all rut and didn't get a shot. Passed up a small 6 point late in year. Didn't get a good shot at any does. Not complaining at all. That's how I roll.

I had 1 shot at the buck of a lifetime.

Yep. Right over his back.
