Heres some video from the hunt so far... 1. First part of the clip is of a a bedded solid deer I passed up (I now ABSOLUTELY regret not taking the shot). I had seen so many studs scouting that it blinded me of this golden opportunity. Lesson learned. 2. Second part of the clip is of a missed shot on a buck I ambushed. After a couple days of watching the bucks feed in their routine, I had a decent idea of where hed pass. I set up the camera and ranged things out ahead of time of where hed walk. After the shot, I re-ranged again the target bush and then where he actually was and it wasnt accurate, off by 3-5 yards probably. I dont think that caused my miss as I think it was more me. It was a 75 yard shot I ranged, w/ angle for 60. As you can see, even though he didnt know I was there, he still jumped the string, and even if he hadnt I probably would have still been high by a few inches or more. I was aiming a little high and back for the quartering steep angle shot. Bummer. The hunt has been SO much fun this year. I have already learned new things about myself. Ive made some really good judgements, but I also have things to improve on, especially on the execution of the shot. I had almost 4 days backpacked in with my buddy James and he and I hiked our arses off and had such a riot. Im excited to hit the hills some more and very soon, where more video and memories will be made...
