I just missed my target buck. Choked! Not sure what happened all I can think of is I shot high. Choked!! The moments right after missing a shot like that really suck. I have played it over and over and I rushed it and shot high. It’s not the end of the world but being at the bottom right after such excitement is such a kick in the stomach and a mind screwing! That’s the PG version of how I feel right now. Disappointed in myself is an understatement!!*♂️

Been there, done that. It’s definitely one of the most humbling feelings ever. Bowhunting has a way of doing that. About 6 years ago I grazed one of the biggest axis bucks I’ve ever seen. I had an easy broadside 20 yards shot on him, and shot just under him. All I found was a little bit of hair, no blood. Talk about disappointment.

Thanks everyone! After the shot he jumped twice, in and out of the feed pen then walked slow to the edge of the field. Then stepped out and stood and looked back my way for 30 sec then trotted off towards my downwind side of the field out of sight. I could clearly see he wasn’t hit that I could tell. Now grazed I wouldn’t know. Heard my arrow hit the panel on the other side of him and now I can’t find it. And really dont want to tromp all around there looking for it spreading my scent all over. Just Incase he decides to come back this afternoon. I don’t expect him to but this is the only feeder of mine he hits.
