    How do you feel about your shot? Where do you think you hit it?

    This is crazy!!!!!

    No, at first I though he was going to walk right by it and give me a 8 yd shot, but he veered off on a different trail.

    No, he's working today. He'll be coming home after lunch though. We wouldn't have seen him from either of the other stands.

    It's all so blurry! I felt good at release, but I could have pinwheeled him and if I didn't see him go down, I always doubt.

    Felt way better than before. I knew I had missed then as soon as the arrow was off the string.

    I'm afraid we will all be waiting for some answers.

    Geez! I kept this thread up on one of my monitors, decided to get some work done on my other 3...come back and I feel like I was gone for hours! Holy Sh!t Fitz!!! I will have one eye on this monitor for the rest of the day. So, go have lunch, try to relax, stay confident...and then get back out there and get your deer. Can't wait to see the picture of you with either Blade or Whistler :) Nice job!

    I know you'll do the right thing with the recovery. Hopefully you can relax a little bit until you start the search. Your description of his reaction of "buckling" and then running 40-50 yards until out of site makes me think a big trophy is in your near future!! I sure hope I'm right! You deserve it dude!

    Thanks for the support everyone. I'm head back out now. Slow and steady. I know I've said about 16 different prayers, so send me all your happy thoughts :tu:

    Let's do this.

    Good luck bud!! I am cautiously optimistic that there is a dead deer not too far from where you hit him!! Soak it all in!!
