Title: Sometimes it happens (video)
Post by: Arwin on November 29, 2008, 11:49:00 PM
I had one right under me today and whiffed. I kept telling myself to shoot low when they're in close but I didn't listen to myself and shot right over her back. Trying to film a hunt is hard too especially when things go awry. Good thing I missed,LOL! Saw a couple bucks but I'm tagged out for those and have one doe permit left for public land. Bow hunting during gun season......gotta love it!

Excellent!  My favorite sound hearing the leaves crunch.

Yep that is exactly how those leaves sounded yesterday, just never heard those footsteps crunching thru myself!!  Very nice Arwin, that is hard to film and hunt solo. Good luck!! dino

I'm shooting a 62 inch RER, around 50#'s at my draw with cedars and 160 grain Snuffers.   :thumbsup:

Cool video,  I still have not seen any deer on the private tract I hunt this year, Very frustrating.

Sweet video even on a miss. I think it is just as exciting to go after does as bucks!

Way to go Arwin!  The bare ground looks funny, we've had snow up here for the last 2 weeks.

Been there, done that   :banghead:  

Anyone who hasn't missed one, hasn't hunted much!

I had several of them stare at me then keep feeding this year. I was wearing my Cabela's Wooltimate outfitter high plains. I would have thought it was too light in color for tree stands, but it seems like they just look right through you. Cool, huh!

Nice video!
