That's funny - but not at the time, huh? When I first got into bowhunting (I was 56), I asked my mentor, up in Maine, about how many arrows I should carry. He said, "Take all ya can, period!" Then this really great shooter (he was really deadly with any bow he picked up 90% of the time) proceeded to tell me a story about him hunting the edge of a field (that he had shown to me a week earlier) a couple years back. Seems he had deer all over him that morning and only had six arrows with him. An hour and a half later he had six arrows laying in the grass, no blood on any of them, and he then saw four more deer while waiting another half hour for his son to come by to get him. He also said he never found out any reason for that string of misses. When he got home and went to his targets to check things out - you guessed it - he was still deadly as ever - :D He told me he had never had so many opportunities on one hunt before or since, nor had he ever blown so many shots at one sitting. Oh yeah, I always carry some extras in my truck - never have had to go get them yet but came close a couple of times :rolleyes: .
