Ive lost 3 deer already this year from bad shot placement and two out of the three should have been dead deer. I forgot to mention that 2 out of 3 were also on video which makes it even better. First shot was a cull 7 pt that me and dustin walked up on coming out of the woods on a morning hunt. Hit a limb, deflected, no penetration, deer has now relocated to memphis. Second one was a 40 yd shot, dont know what happened, just shot low (brisket) for some reason. Third one, decided before i even left the camp that i was going to be more patient and focused during the period between the draw and the shot. 20 min after being in the stand had 4 does start to feed toward us. Within the next 35 min i had broadside or quartering away shots at 30 to 35 yards but just felt like they were going to eventually browse towards us and give a higher percentage shot at like 20 or 25yds. Finally they started easing our way so i take one last range and right as im drawing a small 8 pt comes trottin in from my left and ends up spookin the doe a few yards off and now (of course) shes on pins and needles. Long story short....i took the shot, she drops 4-5 inches (i was a little high anyway), hit her in the no zone, it gets better.......bitch runs off with $15 of broadhead and arrow. I came really close to tryin a bo jackson with a mathews sat afternoon
Anyway just needed to vent
Not to bring it up but it sounds like a pod would sure up your percentage. So far I am 3 for 3 with one bad shot but I did recover the animal. I got my 15 dollar arrow back with a rolled back pod.

It seems all of the sudden i have just started (or rediscovered) some bad habits that i thought i had beaten. But the first doe i see this weekend is getting one, i gotta get my confidence back.
2 misses?????????????????
There will be a day....
