Today is my second day bow hunting ever. Cooled off alot last night. So climbed into the stand around 5:30. At 7:30 i had a HUGE doe come in. First at 75 yard all the way down to 15. Doe keeps taking one step and puts her head down. Did this EVERY step. So i see my chance to time it right when her head is down and behind a tree. She goes to take the step, I go, starting to pull to full draw and she takes two steps this time and looks right at me and bolts. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Any tips what i did wrong here? Kinda bummed but theres always other days.
She could have heard a little noise that you didn't notice when you drew,could have caught the movement,could have been any of a number of reason.Maybe it just wasn't meant to be that time around.It happens.Just part of bowhuntin I reckon. Hang in there and it'll happen.:D
If it makes you feel any better I didn't recover my first deer with a bow. I got a clean pass through and good blood trail but as most rookie bow hunters do I didn't wait and I pushed her. I felt horrible. But that was then and this is now and I have learned from my mistakes. I wish you better luck next time brother.
