Got up at 4:30 and made the drive down. Got in early, all set up. Put some corn down close and settled in. Right at 7:15. Nice 9 strolls in. Really pretty buck but just a year too young. He is giving the feeder plenty of space, so I figure another buck is lurking in the brush. Sure enough, after about 10 min an old, wide short tined 10 point walks out. They are giving the feeder a wide berth, but I figure they will work their way in eventually. Well after another 10 min, here he is broadside at 11 yards. I draw back and am shaking but not too bad. Just as he took the final step, he heard something....limb could have hit the top of the blind, chair creaked, who knows, but just as I released the arrow he ducks and spins and the arrow goes smooth over his back.
I couldn’t help bit smile.....this is the first time I’ve ever missed a deer and not been mad about it.
Knocked another arrows and have 5 does in front of me as I type this. Hopefully another big boy will show back up
