Well I had a bow mishap this evening that's got me torn up. I saw a nice 8 point early season that I decided if I saw him while bow hunting that I would take him. Well this evening right at dark I hear a deer running up a hill behind me on the small powerline I was hunting. I could hear the deer getting closer and closer to my right. When it seems like the deer is on top of me I turn my head to the right and I see him. It's the eight point I saw early season. He eased behind some brush so I slowly get stood up and right when I'm up he eases out onto the powerline at 25-30 yards. I began to turn to my right and my bow limb brushes up against a pine needle and makes a screeching sound. The buck took off across the powerline ( only 60 yards wide) and blew about 10 times. I picked up my grunt call and grunted at him a few times and he walked back out. Right as I thought he was going to ease back my way he took off up the powerline and blew 5 or 6 more times. This would have been my best buck with a bow and I'm pretty sick to say the least
