Here I am again. I don't know what else to do. I practice all the time and I'm accurate. I don't freak out in the moment. It is clear and calm.
I had a deer slightly quartering to. Put what I thought was a good shot on her. Had to wait over an hour to get down because there were so many deer around me. During that time I drew back twice and had to let down. Both times my arrow flew off my bow to the ground. Deer still stuck around.
Get down. My arrow is broken on the ground with no blood. Both pieces are there. I walk a ways int he direction the doe went and finally find blood. Track it for quite a ways and nothing. Backed out for a bit to see if I could get a dog and nobody was available. Went back out and found more blood and a pretty heavy spot where she must have laid down for a bit. The ground was soaked. Followed the new trail for a while and it finally crapped out. My family is travelling to be here this weekend so I will not be able to go look. I feel like she headed to the neighbor's property.
I just don't get it. But both times I have shot this year I had to stop the deer. If I had just let this one pass and waited I would have had 3 perfect opportunities. But hindsight is 20/20.
I probably saw 10-15 deer this morning. There were honestly too many of them. They are all on those acorns.
