    Just had two adult does come in. They were passing about 20yds in front of me. The second one looked to be a tad bigger, so when she got in my opening I made a little sound and she stopped right where I needed her to stop. I released and sailed it right over her back. They jumped at the sound and looked around for a little bit then went back to feeding. As a matter of fact, they fed almost to the base of my tree. They were so close I couldn't get another arrow loaded. They stuck around for another 20 minutes and then left. I don't know how I blew that one. It was a chip shot.

    Ouch. That only happens to me when I'm shooting at a buck.

    It's amazing how that happens when the adrenaline rush starts to wear off.

    I think we figured out why you missed. If you knew about that stud when the does came in, you were already shaking thinking about that monster!!
    LOL!!!
