I feel like such a rookie!! (Video)

Had a target buck come in on my hill country lease. Not only did I bump the back of the blind on the draw, I bumped my camera with my stabilizer while I still had a chance of shooting the buck.

These hill county deer are a bit tougher to get on than what I'm used to in South Texas!

Nice Buck, you’ll get him next time,

[AntlerCollector]

[osupokes98]

It happens, he will be back!!

[dustoffer]

Oops! At least you have had a shooter in front of you. I've seen only does and dink bucks so far this season.

[Hoss163]

Yep that's bow hunting everything has to go right that's what makes it such a awesome addiction..

[RascalArms]

Don’t worry Casey...he will be back. Heck, it was probably those darn slinkys on the feeder that scared him more than anything!!

[Smart]

Its been one of those kinda years for us bowhunters..

[ReneC.]

That sucks

[Smith2001]

That sucks man hopfully you will get another chance at him

[DesertDug]

Bummer. Let you know you are not alone. I had a spike I was after walk out on me this weekend and when he walked behind I large bush I went to set my binos down to grap gun and dropped them off the shelf. He adventully came back out head back towrds me. Got a shot off and lost him. A sad day of hunting., but the blood got pumping.

[Louis]

It happens to all of us. B patient he'll b back. Good luck.

[Casey]

We've been getting schooled out there as the cameras show good bucks almost every morning and evening, but when we are in a blind, it's spikes, does and fawns. Blanco county deer have super powers. Getting this guy in front of me finally, had me excited. I hope to run into him again. He's a regular here.

Look at those black hocks! He's a busy boy.

gotta love rookie mistakes - I made the mistake of not taking my rangefinder to the woods with me while "guiding" my son yesterday morning. Sure enough he got a shot opportunity and missed low after I told him to shoot for 20yds and the gobbler ended up being 30yds. I bet you get another shot at him before the season is over.

Lots of deer get to live another year for hunters trying to self video their hunts. I had a 10 with a 7-8 inch drop last year that I screwed up on trying to video. I had him at 15 yards but not in camera frame and he ran a doe and came back and made a poor shot and never found him.
