I missed a doe this morning, it was just getting light and 4 doe came right under my tree. I should have just waited and seen what happened but no I just had to shoot.....the arrow went right under her and took a little white hair off, she then proceeded to run and snap off my arrow which was sticking out of the ground.  >:( Dang it you'd think I'd know better by now, you cant force a shot!  :P Well it was a good morning out in the woods anyways, I ended up seeing 5 does and a small buck all before 8:00am :)

Nice shot Mitchman!! Looks like right through the heart - but running two hundred yards guess not. Nice taking one with bow regardless :).

i went out last night and had anonthe quiet evening except for the two or three racoon running around under my stand. then all of a sudden, the stopped and ran off. i looked up and saw a doe and two skippers walking straight to me at a steady pace. i had already been standing up because of the coons racket i figured they were deer at first. kinda weird they were playing around i always thought they came out after dark? anyways, the two little ones were side by side with the doe behind them as the crept in by me. i let them pass by a little waiting for a quartering away shot. i wanted to shoot the doe but the 2nd little one gave me the best shot. as i slowly raised my bow and bent my knees(to keep the top limb of my bow from hitting a branch i kept for cover) i drew and released. its pretty awesome to wathc an arrow find its mark. the deer high tailed it for about 40 yards and i heard it crash. i waited a good half hour and was confident with the shot so i climbed down. actually i almost fell down i was shaking so hard. i stayed nice and calm the whole time but as soon as i released that arrow i got the crazy shakes. i think both because it was cold and i had blocking it out with all the adrenaline and the actual excitement from the hunt. when i got to where i hit the deer (a mere 10 yards from the base of my tree, there was no blood or hair. this made me very nervous and brought back the bad memories from the deer i couldnt find earlier in the week. with no blood i then started questioning myself of my what looked to be perfect shot. i headed to where i last saw it and out of no whete there was a awesome blood trail. the kind of blood trail you hope to find on any game. sure enough there was my deer maybe 50 yards from were i shot it. the little bugger never even know what hit him. i cant even explain the excitement i felt when i was holding my primitivly killed deer. i didnt weigh him this morning but im guessing he weight about 80 pounds. im 6'3 and weigh 250 if that makes it look any bigger. im not a trophy hunter i hunt for meat and this will be very good eating. im plannin on having tenderloin for supper!!! yeah baby!

Gezzzzz Paul. You went all the way to Maine on a job. You would think there were no good welders in the North East. Keep searching. You'll get one. There were seven of them out back last night at 5:30. We went to a Halloween Costume Ball last night. >:D  Deer must have heard about it and came in.

Naw, far as I can tell their legal here Jesse. They have to be 7/8" wide with two cutting edges minimun, now if I could just figure out how to knap some with three edges ;D. Yeah, Dick. Unfortunantly our work is everywhere, Maine to Washington and all in between. Gives me opportunities to pilfer stuff all kinds of stuff though >:D.

Nice shot Jesse,nothing like fresh loin and back strap and nothing like your first selfbow deer. :)
and I love them 40 yard tracks. ;) I had the kid youth hunt this weekend so no hunting but plan to get after them hard this week and next.The boys missed a couple of does and took a 6 point Sunday morning,I won't post it here cause it was killed with a 30-30 but he was only 8 yearold.
I posted it on Life is good thread if you care to look .Man he was one happy young man.Good
luck to all,maybe I will have a story to tell this week. :)

Had a few close encounters this weekend unfortunately the deer won again. Got busted friday evening and again saturday morning, been windy here and and seems to change direction every5 minutes. I'm about ready to resort to putting some bait out :o Going tonite again and of course contrary wind again >:(

I saw a young buck in one of the neighbors yard this morning on the way to work. I'd say they're defiinitely in the mood... :)

Went out Saturday afternoon, like Dana said-wind was whipping and changing direction every five minutes. Didn't see any deer, but I had a group of three big long-bearded gobblers come right by me. Unfortunately we don't have a fall turkey season here. >:(
