Bad patience and a branch from a fallen tree are what kept me up all night last night. Grunted in a freaking brute, beelined it and came straight up to 28 yards (finally got a rangefinder) and stopped. There was a fallen tree about halfway between us and he had no idea I was there. I drew on him and instead of waiting for him to move a little more to my right I took the shot. Skimmed the top edge of a tiny branch and it sailed the arrow. The deer didn’t see me or wind me. After he ran off he stopped about 60 yards away, and then another buck just as nice came from my right out of range and wouldn’t come to the grunt, just locked in on that other buck. They both took off in the same direction. How long would y’all wait to hit the spot again? It’s obviously a great buck bedding area and has quite a bit of decent bucks in there. Y’all think tomorrow would be too early to try it again since neither buck caught my scent? I’m learning archery hunting as I go, so definitely another painful lesson in patience was learned yesterday. Makes 3 misses on the season so far
