Took my bitch for a ride to the woods to fling some arrows

didnt take long to spot an elusive trophy BUCKet.Put a good stalk on it, got a clear shootin lane and loosed an arrow..

SCORE!!! just a tad right of the spot I was aiming at.
Note to self. When hunting BUCKets,,,aim low to prevent overpenetration. Its a little hard on the fletches (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0102.jpg)
Trekking thru the woods, I found a good log to take a break on,,,and snap a couple bow shots (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0104.jpg)

Fiddled with the timer (and after several close up shot of my belly) finally got one of those "Hows my form" pics (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0108.jpg)
A little farther into our adventure...We spotted a bedded blue belly creek hugger. I was able to get off a shot undetected,,,but missed a little right (http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g38/trapperDave/archery/115_0114.jpg)
Or did I???

just goes to show you should always follow up on your shots. Sometimes those misses arent misses at all.
