Cusing myself

[kd8jgu]

Climbed into blind at 6:45
Have had a pack of 60 - 80lb hogs coming in
Temp was 92 when I climbed in stand
Sun went down temp started to fall 8:15 started to hear
movement in woods
Lights on feeder start to light up
Picked up Grizzly
Hogs come in at 25 yard marker
Heart starts to race a boar I have wanted is leading the pack
Drop cross hairs take a deep breath bow goes off
Bolt flies over the back of the boar
I realize I jerked the shot 9 months waiting for this shot
Thanks for listening

Sorry that you missed,but count it as a practice shot for the next one that you get a chance at.I also hunt in Texas for them hogs but i am going to let it get cooler!
before I go after them! Good luck next time! Ron!

Ah ____!

Man I feel for ya. I hope you get a second chance soon

[MickB]

How does the season work where you are, will you get another shot at them?

[GrassyKnoll]

Good read regardless if you missed or not. I'm going nuts waiting to hunt something and enjoy when other members post up their hunts, successful or not.

Stinks that you did man, but go after him ASAP and redeem that shot...

Better it was a clean miss! Sorry to read that one Chuck, next time the story ends differently.

[StormDragon]

Sorry to hear but a miss is better then a wounded animal. You can get a redo of the one kind of shot another time but you can't undo the other.

Good luck!

I absolutely MUFFED UP a shot last fall on a huge doe. She came in with a few other does and fawns and from he mannerism and size was probably the lead doe.

Anyway she finally came in from circling the bait awhile and every damn time I had her in my cross hairs for a "perfect" broadside or slight quartering away shot a fawn would go right behind her where the arrow would pass through during the shot.

This happened at least FOUR times and that bigger would just be there UGH.

Anyway, she finally moved away enough for me to get a good slight quartering away shot. Put the cross hairs on her aiming for the back right shoulder, squeezed the trigger and watched my lighted nock zip out towards her and drill her low .

I was ticked to say the least, Esp when i found the arrow with only some fur and greasy residue on it. I looked two days just in case but from what other hunters I know saod, it sounded like I hit her in the brisket and although sore, she should be 9k.

It sucks but it happened and this was off my tripod from my groundblind.
