wtnhunt Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 You only had three arrows in your quiver? Interesting story there. Think we all can learn from our experiences in the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogg6 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 That's part of bowhunting. Hunt and learn from the unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntin Junky Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I usually only hunt with 3 or 4 arrows too. It makes me be a little more disciplined in the shots I take. Want to see a ton of deer when you go to the woods? Take only one arrow.»—> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sounds like a pretty interesting story. Just keep on practicing with that bow and dont' give up. I'm just going to leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 HAHA i dont mean to laugh cause that really sucks.....i dont like to take any less than 4 or 5 arrows out with me......and the deer walking off with the arrow in the butt: my dad shot a 6 point last fall and when we were cuttin it up we found the front half of a carbon arrow and the arrow head in the other sholder.....i was setting in a tripod about 600 yards away accrost a hay marsh and i could see the buck runnin with kind of a hobbel........also my STEP dad shot a 6x6 bull elk that also had an arrow stuck in it........but good luck this season:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
