Well today was the first actual sit and hunt for me this year.
Wouldnt you know 20 minutes after I sit down, bam doe walks out presenting no shot. 10 minutes later, a small crab claw comes out.( the first non spike buck I have ever seen while hunting) way inside the ears no go. 5 minutes after that two deer come out another crab claw, maybe a 6er still no shooter and a doe trailing him. Well I'm watching them for about 20 minutes and its go or no go time, so I let the bigger doe the first one have it. Perfect broadside near shoulder extended arrown makes comeplete pass through I wait 20 minutes due to failing light I find the arrow covered with, bright deep blood from end to end on arrow. No blood on the ground. Well I start walking circles and find some good blood and it makes a good trail for 50 yards and stops
Walked in progressively bigger circles from there not another drop. I searched from that point for 2 hours with no avail.
Needless to say I'm exhausted, mad, and feel like crap for the doe not being able to find her.
My grandpa said its just a part of hunting. But I feel bad still
How ever it was the most excited and most deer ive ever seen in a sitting so im doing something right idk just letting you guys know
