My first deer .. I was 11, by myself behind the house. killed a doe sitting on the ground at probably 15 yards, old bear compound, no sights, no release. that was over 20 years ago but I remember like it yesterday. It took me 4-5 years to kill another one with my bow. Every one I've missed has been right under the tree or way too far to shoot at to begin with. Just about every one I have missed has been from a limb/twig that I didn't see or just choking from my nerves.
