535hunter Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) So it was about 6:35 last night. I heard a branch break behind so I turned to look and didn't see anything and wouldn't you know it. When I was turning back I got.busted. Scared the crap out of me. The weeze made be jump and looked saw the tell tail sign of a white tail heading away from my stand. Figured my night was over. Up there kick my self over what happened. About 15 minutes goes by and another branch cracks behind me. Instincts says look but I just sat there looking in the direction my stand was facing. Then another branch crack so I stood up and looked this time. About 25 to thirty yards out I could see a few deer walking. They were in some good cover so it was a glimpse here and a glimpse there. She finally got into a little bit of an opening so I raised up, pulled back and waited for a better shot. Took another couple minutes until she moved a bit more. I let it go and missed her. No sign of blood on the arrow that took me for ever to find which barried itself nice and deep into a stump... ohwell it happens. Keeping. Good spirits about it but I think my days of bow hunting down here in Virginia are over. Time to pack up and head back to the great north east. Vermont bound Wednesday. Can't wait to get back to where I belong. Family, friends and more deer hunting. Edited October 21, 2012 by 535hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
