Missed my First
Ok well the nite started off pretty good. I got into my stand at about 4:45 and there was 9 turkey on the other side of the field. So I watched these 9 turkey feed all around the field until they walked under my stand and ate for at least 30 mins. I am getting ready to shoot one when I see the deer walk out on the field across the road. So I decide not to take a shot at the turkey. Well after about 15 mins 2 doe cross the road and come 25 yards to my right and i am holding my bow back now for about 3 mins. When she steps into the opening and I let it fly. As you know all I got was belly hair and a little bit of blood. I jerked it at the last second to screw up the shot. Well about 1 hour later here come 6 more doe across the road and at 45 yards they are walking right to me. So I get pulled back and ready to take another shot when my hunting buddy comes over the hill. And they all run off. Overall if was a pretty good nite other than the bad shot. And that was the 1st deer I have shot at with my bow.

RE: Missed my First
My buddy was coming over during shooting hours because there was a bobcat that ran the deer off that were coming to him and it was headed my way and he heard some deer my way snorting and he figured they were all ran off.
