disgusted to say the least

[silent death]

Went out this morning got up in my stand

Heard grunting on top of the ridge . tried

calling with my estrous can no luck after a

hour listening to him him grunting i said

screw it and the stalk was on...i start walking

up the 4 wheeler trail and stop every 5 ft

well the 3rd time i stop i see the buck walking

next to me up the hill. My bow has a hha sight

that goes from 10yards to 70yards.. i have it set

on 40 when this is happening . so after i see him

i duck down and hit my estrous can and this is where

things go wrong. this buck makes a bline right for me

gave me a 22 yard shot . I pull back pick a spot

and let the arrow fly. yeah it did just that about

6 inches over his back...i never moved my site

to compensate for the yardage i should have

put it on 25 yds... i know better ... but hey its hunting

id wrather have a clean miss than a bad hit...man it

Was fun though..just mad at myself right now

I did the same thing a few years ago but I shot under not over.  A beautiful buck was headed my way right down the trail.  Should have been an easy 20 yard shot but before he got to me he turned and went down another trail.  He was probably 35 yards when (not thinking) I put the pin in the center of his chest and let the arrow fly.  I had a clean arrow (no blood or fat) but did give him a slight haircut.  I sure was mad at myself that day.

 

Although another time I WAS thinking clearly and shot at a buck with my pin set at 20 when it was actually over 40 yards.  I didn't have time to set my sight so I just held the pin about 3 inches above his back and let the arrow fly.  I made a beautiful shot right through his heart and he died within eyesight.
