I have been waiting 3 years for this guy to come in during legal shooting hours. Well he finally comes in tonight right before dark and I blew the shot.
I put some corn out for my 20yd marker and all the deer were hitting that so I already had 20yds in my head all day long. When he comes in he goes straight to the hay which is a little farther back. It didn't even cross my mind at the time to adjust. I guess I was just to pumped to see him actually come in. On top of all that I always aim for a heart shot that way if they jump the string I will catch both lungs. I pull back settle the pin and release. The arrow flies right underneath him.
At least it was a clean miss. Hopefully I didn't spook him to bad. He took off along with some does but two of them just picked there heads up for a little bit then went right back to eating.
I just hope I didn't educate him for the rest of the year and hopefully he will give me the chance to redeem myself.
