Come November has pretty much BEcome November and still no big ones on the ground for me. Speaking for myself, I've had a great season. I've had ultra-close encounters with several real studs. I'm talking 6 yds.; 9 yds.; 12 yds. where I didn't fire an arrow because of bad angles; twigs/brush, etc. Still very exciting. I'll fess up I did hit a big one in the shoulder and lost him. But I'm getting local rumors he's still going, so that's good. I also missed a great one at 22 yds. The arrow was heading home and suddenly took an abrupt right turn and ended right in front of his chest for a clean miss (thank you Lord.) That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm not complaining at all but I mentioned to a compound shooting friend if I was able to hold back a compound like they can I believe I would have two more B&C caliber bucks this year. Oh well... that's my choice. I wussed out this morning. I awoke to freezing rain. A sheet of ice on everything. The same is predicted for tomorrow... and there goes November. My goals just got lowered. You guys will still like me won't you? Ha. Best wishes to all. BW
