    I gotta ask... How much practice have you done from the treestand? Aim for the heart and if she/he jumps the string you'll still get lung.

    From that stand none, I havebeen shooting off my deck which is 8' high and the stand is 15' high. So a 10 yard shot off my deck was only a 5 yard from my stand. She didn't even jump the string, if you watch the slow motion part it is in the ground almost before she even reacts. It was my fault for not thinking about how high I was and to adjust.

    AND...that's why it's called hunting and not killing. Variables abound. Better luck next time.
    At least you had one close enough to loose an arrow, or two at. I haven't even had that luck yet.

    I'm in the stand with my longbow. Only about 30 minutes of light left.

    I've been in the tree since 6:00. At 6:55 I had a deer walk from behind me, right under my tree and out in front of me at 10 yards. It was right before shootable light. I could tell it was a good size deer but not if it was doe or buck. So the wait continues.

    I'm on vacation next week. I hope the rut starts kicking in. I'll be hunting hard the beginning of the week, the wife is off Thurs-Sun so I'll be spending some time with her as well.
    Isn't anyone else hitting the woods with trad tackle?

    Hoping to next week. Had a shoulder issue that'll hopefully be good in a few more days of recovery. Gotta check cams maybe Sunday or Monday and go from there

    I'm hunting in the morning on Monday. On vacation this week so I hope to tag something. Updates from the stand tomorrow.
    Taking the "68" Super K this time.
