Timing is everything
« on: November 14, 2015, 08:26:00 PM »
Had a great day in the woods today but it just proved timing is everything.  Around 3PM a had this really nice typical 8 with about a 20" spread cross in front of me tracking a small doe.  I watched him move on by.  10 minutes later I notice he had crossed the creek and started  coming right for me.  I was hunting an Urban area and there were kids in the distance yelling.  The deer didn't pay any attention to the noise and at about 15 yards I drew just as he started to enter my shooting lane.  Just as he started to pass by the last tree this lady starts yelling at the kids for some reason.   Deer stopped perfectly for his safety that is.  All I could see was his head/neck and butt.  I stayed at full draw for what seemed like eternality before a little swirl in the wind direction sent him back the way he came.  So close but no cigar.  What's the chance of that lady yelling at just that time.      :dunno:

Sadly, for bow hunters that probability is near 100%.

I hope you meet him again. Next time you plan to hunt there, you may want to gag that lady.

That has been the way my season has been going.  I shot a great buck earlier this year.  I left him over night and the next morning tracked him to a bed only about 60 yards from the shot.  I was unable to find any blood from the spot where he bedded.  After 3 hours I left to take a break.  Came back later in the afternoon and never did find him.  I was really sick as the shot looked good and I had a great blood trail shortly after the shot.  To make a long story short the buck got out of the bed and backtracked towards where I shot him and died near this access road.   A landscaping crew showing cuttings in the woods found the deer and took him.
