Pullstart 71,417 #576 Posted October 28 Things did not go my way Sunday night. I’ve been a bit under the weather and shouldn’t have even been out there to be honest with myself. I saw a little buck running around an hour or two before dark. I saw him again about 40 minutes before dark, in another direction, moving quick both times. Just before dark, two does came out of the neighbor’s corn and pinned me in my tree most immediately. It’s like they know I’m there and look first. I think I have a plan to relocate to a more secluded tree next season. The bigger one gave me a shot, almost identical to my doe a few weeks back. I let an arrow fly, and my bottom limb (cam?) smacked the ladder stand seat and my arrow went bouncing under her. At least it was a clean miss. I did the walk of shame to get my arrow after the fled, and went inside. I hung my bow up on a nail in the rafters of the pool shed, and it decided to fall to the concrete, landing on that bottom cam. I walked inside the house and don’t have plans to bow hunt any more this season. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 71,417 #578 Posted 3 hours ago (edited) I finally had time to get my bow into the shop for inspection. The owner told me to go deburr the cam edges and shoot it. It’s not damaged, just a little roughed up. There’s something to be said about a shop owner who turns down a potential sale for no reason. I bought $23 worth of merchandise as a thanks, and am heading to the tree stand! Edited 3 hours ago by Pullstart 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
