Guy's I was hunting yesterday evening, I've not bowhunted alot before this season. I had a nice 120" 8pt feed across my green field straight towards me. He got to around 23yds. I got drew back but he would never give me a broadside shot. I put the pin between his shoulders at the base of neck while he had his head down feeding but I talked my self out of taking the shot because I didn't want to take a chance on making a bad shot. Then he got a little nervous an walked out of the field with his tail up. Did I do the right thing not taking the shot or did I mess up by not taking it?

If you didn't feel right taking that shot, then absolutely you did the right thing. Doesn't matter what we jacklegs think. Never take a shot you don't feel comfortable with You did the right thing

Best advice I have had from a good, older friend, is:
"If you have to think about it more than once, don't do it."
Applies to all things, particularly working with farm/heavy equipment.
You did the right thing, particularly not bowhunting a lot before this season.
A whole lot better letting them walk away uninjured, than letting one get away being hurt.
God Bless, David B.
