Well I went out to the exact same stand I fell out of and did a bit of rattling. At dark a nice 10 stepped into my shooting lane. I knew the spot where he was standing was 15 yards. Drew back and wham.... he doesn't move and the arrow didn't touch him. I knocked another arrow and he had move about a yard farther. Another swing and another huge strikeout. Still doesn't run off just trotted 10 or so yards. Still in range but no more arrows. Idk wtf happened but I was calm when I shot, know I didn't jerk, and didn't hit any limbs. Just some really bad luck from that stand... I think its cursed.

I think I've figured out why I missed. The deer was a steep hill downhill from me when I shot so I think I shot right over his back because of the angle. From the height of my stand and and the hill I'd say I should've aimed like he was at about 10 yards and I aimed dead center, but the catch is my First pin is 25 yards. So I'm pretty convinced I shot right over the top

daybreak: Always loved Labor Day weekend. Time for those jet skis and speed boats to go back in storage and make room on the lakes for us fishermen again. (:))
