I shoot one pin. I killed my turkey at a hair under 45. I am comfortable to 45 plus but like to keep it to 35 and in usually for deer. 

bummer. He definitely ducked though?

Dang it feels nice out. Bronchitis or the likes had me coughing all night so live from the couch  Surprise coughs out of nowhere and I’m not going to be very stealthy.   Maybe take mama to breakfast. Good luck out there 

Yes sir lot of Bronchitis and upper respiratory infections going on.I think the change in weather and leaf drop/pollen/dust from what was on the leaves from the summer is the main cause.Get some rest and feel better soon.

Well I know why we are not seeing deer! On the way in to school today I saidto my daughter  " ok let's see how many deer we see. You have to look hard". My daughter says" Dad we won't see any deer today it is to cold outside. They are all inside staying warm". So there you have it. Deep thoughts from a 4 1/2  year old!!  Lol

Just tickled some antlers, had a buck with 3 on one side come in, couldn’t see other side.

Something weird is afoot. I have noticed a major uptick going on 3 or 4 years now in terms of lung infections. I am shaking something off myself now and I had a very bad dose 2 years ago. I rarely got sick before this and now I get something in the lungs every year. When I was teaching the students were often down with respiratory issues.

Had a lone fawn pass by at 8:45. Other than that, it's been DAF...

Might tap out and go into work for 4hrs, to save 1/2 vacation day.

You see 170" you'll draw fine

No doubt, I could tell off the shot but him trotting up the hill 50 yards and watching the area for an hour after proved it lol. He fed his way away.

A buddy shot one under his stand  at 8am on a little county parcel we hunt...hoping to hear good news soon.

Edit: got him a good bodied 3 point I'm stoked for him

My parents just bought us a very expensive air filter but it is working...my fam of four has two incubators (almost 4&7yrs old) and spring and fall we are sick months straight.

that sucks. I've never experienced it, and it always seems to happen so fast that I sometimes question it. I know science has proved it does indeed happen, but please don't take this the wrong way, I think your shot was high anyhow if it was a complete miss. Maybe a blessing that you didn't hit the non-vital area below the spine?

A lot of people also spend more time indoors or in a car. We're packed tighter in offices and schools and not everybody does a good job with their hygiene and changing filters/cleaning in their homes. As a result, even the healthy and outdoorsy types get exposed more now than ever before.

Couple of doe wandered by , behind me . The wind also stopped it was blowing pretty good off a field straight on to me . Good as the deer mostly move in front of this stand , but I was freezing .

Well yea I'd believe someone online over myself who released the arrow any day lol. No offense taken I don't care who believes it or not.

So lower vitals to above spine is what 6 to 10 inches? so lets say he ducked 6 inches at the sound of your release? Assuming you're not shooting a recurve... 300 fps at 35 yards. Your arrow traveled 105', meaning his reflexes allowed him to drop 6 or so inches in 0.3 seconds. I've missed a few deer in my day too. It happens.

I sent this to a another member. Makes good sense and there's a lot into this if you watch it.

So my bow season might be over, I only have a dmp left I can use any way so it’s not the end of the world. I got rear ended pretty hard While driving in the Bronx Friday afternoon. Small dent in my steel bumper and I felt fine so I just waived the guy on. Woke up Saturday morning and my muscle in the middle of the right side of my back is tight and really sore. It was annoying but Tolerable. Fast forward to Sunday mid morning. I go to pull my sons stroller out of my wife’s trunk and can’t. It hurt so bad I almost fell over. No way I can draw a bow. Dr gave me anti-inflammatories muscle relaxers and exercises to do. This sucks. I’ll wait till mid next week and see how I feel.

Take it easy. Think long-term and follow doctors orders as best as possible.

I blew my back out lacing my boots at the truck to go into the woods Nov 2, 2008. Surgery a month later, which helped. But, I've never been the same. Don't mess around with back issues.

I think around 12:00 is a better example of real worldish conditions and a result in a high chops/spine hit. But we've all said our peace. lets get back on track or start a new thread.
