Micheal J Fox you'll get him next time! You have to look at it as at least you learned from a mistake now you will be ready next time!

Blowed it a few years ago on a sure noof big un! As they say! Hear something walking and the biggest deer I ever shot at came into the clearing. Don't know who was more surprise me or the deer! Deer had bases size of a drink can and antlers went straight up. Guy shot him that year. Get after that deer!

Yeah, the way he came out he was right on me and I had about a 20ft window of opportunity. The pressure got me but I will be back to get his ass Wednesday.

I had a moment like that last season with a big doe on the edge of a green field. She came in and hung out just out of range. I had my bow in hand to be ready but she hung up feeding. I was shaking so hard I thought I would fall out of that tree. Never did get a shot on her bit it was an awesome feeling.

Sounds like you're in the perfect spot. Hopefully he'll come through again for ya. Don't worry about what size the antlers are. Killing a mature buck with a bow is a damn hard thing to accomplish.

When that feeling goes away, i will stop hunting.

"shaking like Michael J Fox after a 12 pack of red bull" that is funny

Shaking like Michael Jackson Fox after a 12 pack of rd bull is the rEason I hunt!!
If I could bottle that feeling up and sell it there would be no such thing as a crackhead!

Josh. Dont really hunt that area much. If you ever need someone though let me know and if i am able i will go. This is a bad year though with remodeling and baby due in january but if able ill go. We mainly hunt north of there to the dolly parton.

trials and tribulations of bowhunting if it was easy a caveman could do it

Used to hunt along the pipeline from Dead Lake. Enjoyed tromping those swamps. Never saw a good buck there but was still fun. Enjoy the adrenaline rush. It's awesome!
