Today while walking in to a new area I walked up on a bedded buck.  I ended up having to take my boots off as it sounded like corn flakes, but I got within 20 yards only to miss him!  Exciting hunt but I really need to figure out what I'm doing wrong when I shoot.  My shooting has gone Kapoot lately.      :banghead:

That is the ultimate in my book.....to sneak up on one that is bedded. Look at it this way, you got a photo you will remember forever and you did not have to scrub the blood out from underneath your fingernails!

                                                       Good Hunting,

Very cool! My shooting was bad so I reevaluated my arrow setup, found out I was under spined and now my shooting is back on target(no pun intended) On A nice deer like that anything can go wrong.

3 hour sit this afternoon till evening, wind was right, cold front moving in, so I went to the spot I had a shot last year from a ground blind. The wind held, the temp. dropped but I saw nada! I even took a nap before I went so I was awake the whole time......lol!

I saw 3 small bucks this morning.  All were up walking and grunting and I had a spike walk within 10 yards of me in a goldenrod field.  Unfortunately I have to go to work now.

Walked out of a house where I was working tonight around 6 pm. There were 8 does followed up by a nice 6 or 8 point, couldn't tell for sure. Should be bustin' loose any day now. Just need to get some time in the woods.
