On a food plot this afternoon. My dad asked me for some meat today so big does are in danger. Lots of scrapes around this field as well, hopefully a doe will come out early so I can pop her and keep sitting.

Did you go check your zero?



I haven’t yet (had to run back into town this afternoon) but will be doing so asap.

I think the gun is on. Shot a coyote last week without problem. I think the miss was due to long distance (275ish) on a half trotting buck by a surprised hunter.

Should have taken a breath, got a better rest, and taken care of business. Instead of freaking out and slinging lead, but it happens.

It stings the more I think about it. Missed/blown opportunity

275 yards on a trotting buck is probably why the dog man is so busy. Too bad ya didn’t at least blow its guts out so you could find it in a day or two.
