Swing and a Miss......

You haven't lived until you have missed a P&Y with your Recurve   :banghead: ...... It was awesome and it sucked all at the same time. I'm still shaking.....

I'd be heart broken! But also would be happy to have even had the experience. Hope you get another shot at him!

I guess I must have lived then, because I have done it a couple of times. I thought it sucked more than it was awesome, but that's just me. Let's hear the story.   :campfire:

Well it's been raining here seems like all week. Finally today it stopped but it was still overcast and the wind was blowing really bad. I was board so I figured I would go set for a little while. It turned it to be an awesome evening! Well almost     :mad:

About 5:30 the does started filing in. First there three, then  two, then three more. I have been on a mission this year to pack my freezer but, I have to get up early in the morning, and didn't want to spend all night dressing a deer, so I was giving theses girls a free pass. They were pretty skidish anyway, I figured it was the wind.

It was just God making sure you were not going to be cranky all day tomorrow!    :dunno:  

That is cool how such a thing can be awesome, but it is!

Sorry you missed him and good luck on your next outing.

What haunts me is I waited on a shot at a B&C because I thought I was about to get a closer shot, and ended up with no shot.

I did it once about 1972 and still think about it. But I did bounce the Bear razorhead off of his shoulder bone so wasn't a complete miss.
