Hunting on Tensas River Refuge in Louisiana yesterday and had a great chance to bag a decent buck. It was just shooting light when I heard him cross a small stream to my right. By the time he made it to me I was ready with bow in hand. He was 7 yards away broadside with his head turned toward me, staring intently, almost like he was waiting for me to blink. I began to draw back slowly (I pride myself on how smooth my bows draws) and lick my lips. He was mine, no way I would miss at this range. As I got the bow about a quarter of the way back, suddenly my arrow loosed and flew about 3 feet before hitting softly 20 feet below me on the ground. Of course Mr. Buck at 7 yards distance could hear me breathing much less a botched attempt at 1st degree deer murder. He sprang off only to leave me scratching my head. It was when i looked down i noticed that my release trigger had my wrist strap caught on it so when i put tension on it, it released. I got down and left, lol.
