Thread: Lesson from the weekend hunt

Hi All

So I'm new to bow hunting, have shot a few goats but no deer.

Was away for the weekend with a couple of mates who were rifle hunting and me with the bow. I had a yearling hind come down a game trail and turn broadside at about 15m, wind was good. When she looked away I came up to draw and she looked up at the same time so I paused. She looked at me for a bit the trotted off.

On reflection I think I should have completed the draw because I probably would have got a shot away.

Next time eh.
