    My Does have wandered off. Neither presented a shot. Good to see deer on their feet.

    It aint going to happen for me tonight I don’t believe. These winds are way to shifty and not in my favor. A smarter hunter than me might just get outta here this early in the year. But I’m here...

    That 8 point may be 3.5. Looks almost identical to 128 inch 8 I shot 2 years ago in Wisconsin. He just bedded down in the beans 120 yards away. Almost invisible. 35 minutes of light remain.

    Nothing else for me. Check arrow and definitely a equipment failure, nock snapped off. Gave her a hair cut across the brisket. She stopped behind a tree for a good 5 minutes. I went there and just one pin drop of blood. Followed tracks for another 20 yards and nothing. Time to go home and practice with these nocks, can't have that happen again, especially at 10 yards.
