backwoodsbowhunter Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have seen a 3 and a half year old buck iv named BOO three times now. He is a 150 class 8 pointer. The first two times i saw him he wouldnt come close enough, but that third time he came out about 150 yards away and usng the deadly snort wheeze he came trotting to 25 yards and turned into the woods. Once i knew the trail he was traveling i drew my bow and it was the waiting game. He came to 43 yards as i released my arrow he ducked at the last second and i missed by less than an inch. Youth season is approaching and im excited to hunt this deer with my gun. iappolagize for the length of my threaqd i thought it was a cool story to share.

jcot2773 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 It happens to all of us. your post is not that long at all. you'll get him soon enough. just be glad you didn't make a bad shot and just injure him. I would much rather have a clean miss than an injured animal running around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yeah...43 yards is a far shot to make when you've been drawn for some time. At least he's not wounded, and hopefully not spooked too bad. Hang in there, you might get another chance at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
