Title: that face when you miss at 30yds
Post by: D-Rock425 on September 19, 2014, 06:56:33 AM: I took Dinker out for an afternoon deer hunt yesterday. We walk for a while and on our way out about 7 o'clock a nice doe was standing off the trail. Dink draws I range here big swing and a miss. He hit a limb about 10yds in front of us sending his arrow low left in front of the deer. Fortunately it was a clean miss.

Go get him another chance.

That's always my thought as well when I miss.

Post by: RadSav on September 19, 2014, 07:45:43 AM: Well at least the arrow made it ten yards! I remember a big bull on Manastash Ridge years ago and my arrow never got out of the bow before hitting the first branch :bash: You'd have thunk I'd of seen that one :chuckle:

I've been thinking of making an official "Loser" cap for our group. Someone who misses is forced to wear it until someone else has the next miss. Figuring a regular camo cap with a fancy Logo. There would be a hand on the right and a hand on the left and between them it says, "LOSER - Missed 'em by that much"

We already have the end of season gift for the person who doesn't fill a tag. That person gets a box of Lucky Charms shipped to their door a week after the season ends ;)

Post by: luvmystang67 on September 19, 2014, 09:41:54 AM: The hat could have a logo like this on it...

From my buddy who thought he shot an elk... he didn't.

Post by: irishevox on September 25, 2014, 01:29:21 PM: been there... i have actually shot a deer and look for over 6 1/2 hours and never found it.... so i totally understand the frustration. i will tell you that when u do get your first with a bow you might never want to pick up a rifle again... i just shot my firs tblack tail buck with a bow and it sure felt good.... i hunted whitetail down south my whole life till i moved here in 2012. Trust me you will get it.... like stated before a clean miss rather than a bad shot where they suffer
