I have passed these does up 3-4 times now but I knew if I didn't get them the orange army would. At around 5:30 what I thought was a doe came out and I got the camera rolling. Once I could see the deer though the cover it turned out to be a spike buck. Then movement caught my eye further to the right and knew this is a buck I would take. It was only a 100 inch buck but would be great for a first deer on video with a bow.
He was coming in fast, swung the camera arm to the right. My harness that was connected to the tree was getting in the way of me drawing my bow. I finally got it and drew my bow. I thought the buck was at about 40 yards away so aimed a little high with my single pin, but turns out he was closer. My luminok goes over his back!!! Dammit
I snort wheeze at the buck and grab another arrow, draw my bow and shoot again. The arrow looked a little forward but thought I made a hit. The buck walked off and bedded down 30 yards away from where I shot him. YES I THOUGHT
15 minutes later he gets up and keeps walking
It looks like I grazed him and didn't wound him because he slowly walked off and when you put a good hit on a buck he will always run out of there. Going in tomorrow to see if I can get my arrows or see any blood but it is unlikely. Back at the house I reviewed the film and couldn't see the shot because he just walked out of the frame which would set this whole thing straight
The rut is coming soon so shouldn't give up, hope you are having better luck than I am
