Ron, i remember a morning hunt a few years ago with 3 arrows, and that was not enough. After sending 2 arrows at a fox hanging around my tree stand . I found myself later with 1 arrow remaining and a boss doe that i really wanted to take out.
I was on the ground, standing against the side of an old roadbed, and she was about 12 yards away, browsing with no concern. With the release of the arrow, she dropped and the arrow skimmed over her back and made a terrible fuss in the thick brush behind her. She looked intently in the direction where the arrow ended, but never looked toward the source. After a couple of minutes she came straight down the road bed, passing within about 3 feet. After going about 20 yards past, she caught my scent and had a fit.
It was comical; and disappointing, having a deer within about 3 feet and no arrow. There were several lessons to learn here.
