Thanks guys.To be fair those seven misses were my first season out.I went this time with a firm limit in my mind that 35yds was my max shot.The big mulie I missed ducked into a shallow drainage as he ran broadside to me at 15 yard.All I saw was this massive rack lumber by.Guess I could have shot him in the horns.
What gets me hooked on bow hunting is the quality of animal you see.They havent been chased all over kingdom come by the huge flood of hunters that migrate into their territory every season.Sorry no pics,I was tempted to take some of the hide to show the way a broadhead looks from the backside, and the wound channel it must have created.
When I dropped the hammer on that mulie all I heard was THUNK!I thought stupidly that dear dont go thunk when u hit them.The arrow did bust thru one shoulder exited past the ribs and must have stuck into a tree up the hill.(plan on going back this weekend and find that arrow)Thus explaining the thunk LOL.
Well only one more week before I head to Ala.Going to join up with V.O.A.Im sure they can use a trained carpenter.You guys have a great bow season.
P.S
Hey did you hear Boise was picked by Forbes as the number One safest place to live on mainlands U.S.A.Honullu being #1 in country.Guess I'll being seeing some of you boys around town in the future
.Take er safe
