let me start by saying that after reading the post about doe in a can yesterday i had to buy one on my way out to the stand. at about 6:10 the wind died down to just about nothing so i decided to give it a few turns. not 2 minutes later i can hear the leaves crunching sounded like a deer running my way. i clipped my release on and just as i went to stand up i see a deer coming, dead run. i didnt see any antlers so i think it was a doe (maybe could have been a small spike) anyways i am still looking for my first deer with a bow. this is my third year bow hunting, i missed 2 my first year then i missed 3 last year and 1 earlier this year. well the deer stopped right in my little clearing and walked into the trees, i could still see it as it walked right to my shooting lane. i got stood up pulled back and it stops perfect right in my lane 15 yards away, put my pin on it, and let the arrow fly. what do you know i missed again. right over top of it. this is starting to kinda urine me off a little. i can shoot at my block and have absolutely no problem with shooting at all but as soon as i get a deer in there i cant do it. i dont know why. any suggestions?
