Sigh, the last hunting day of the season and I sat in 16 degree weather for a bunch of hours. With a storm on the way and an flake or two showing up I finally see two deer working towards me.

I intentionally let the first pass and was locked on the second. As it got into range it was just causually walking down the trail and looked like it was going to stop of its own accord any minute. Naturally it did not and by the time I "bahhed" it was behind brush. I let it clear the brush and "bahhed" again. By this time the shot was a bit behind my left shoulder.

When I released the arrow did some kind of weird corkscrew and the bow was nearly pulled from my hand. Turns out my lower was caught on my Lone Wolf seat strap that was now slack as the seat had been folded up in preperation for the shot.

I am grateful I did not hit the deer at all but am bummed I made such a foolish mistake by not stopping the deer myself in the first place.

All hell broke loose with the weather right after that and it started snowing like mad.

Oh well, I had two in the freezer by then anyway but hate to end the season on something like that :( .

Thanks Joe, but it was a doe. I let Junior walk by before Mom "took one for the team". I did, however, see a small buck with them earlier that morning. A point of interest to you is that she was taken in your beloved Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest. The three deer I saw that morning were my first deer sightings of the late season. Three weeks of gun hunting pressure will do that to a deer herd.

My last shot was in march last year,since then I havn't had the money to do any hunting.
From where I live to where I prefer to hunt is $100 in gas alone,and since my wife got laid off from her job,things have been very tight.
But,yes I did take that last animal clean.
I havn't worked out how to post a pic since the system changed here,,,it did change didn't it ???

I recounted the saga already, but it was my first shot ever on deer, South Texas 9-10 pt OLD bruiser from a sweet natural ground blind. MISSED. 10 feet tops. I think the arrow glanced off a branch as it was dead on just behind the shoulder, but went about an inch over his back. He walked off when he heard the arrow hit the brush off to his left about 15 yds away.

I should have let him settle down and eat, and let myself settle down too. All in, an amazing 3 days surrounded by deer not 10' from me.

My last shot was 1/3/10 at a javalina. After I shot I saw a spark on the hill behind the pig. I thought I had missed. Wrong,it took three steps and rolled down the hill. Great way to start the year.
