Missed one tonight...

Had a coyote wander past at 15 yards tonight while bow hunting... Missed an easy standing shot.
Oh well, I will get him in January with the rifle

Did you hit something or was it just a straight miss?

[lungbuster]

What?!!!!

I drew ahead of time because of how quiet it was last night and had the bow back for over a minute when the shot presented itself. It felt like I punched the release a little rather than squeezing and pulled the shot to the right. The arrow hit the snow inches from his nose and with a lumenoc on, it made that coyote come unglued. He might still be running.

Where you filming?

that sucks...i think its alot more fun if you can get them running in to you with a call anyway...

[RaisedByWolves]

yeah i missed one on opening sunday with the rifle..he came running through a small hole in the brush about 50 yards away, pretty sure i lead him too much. that makes two i missed in 3 years! grrr

Never had a yote in bow range for me to try a shot. Don't know if that is a good or bad thing because I know they are around.

Just goes to show there is no such thing as an easy shot with the bow in sub-zero temps.

Where you filming?

Yes.. But did not get the shot on film.

Yep... I figure his days are numbered.

I generally get 4 or 5 shot opportunities a year while deer bow hunting and score quite often. I think its because of being mobile. If you think a deer is smart, coyotes make mature bucks look stupid in my opinion.

When I missed the 1st thing I thought of was your hunt for the 8 point when you missed on that snowy cold November day while I was filming...
