Sorry to hear that John. I missed a young buck at 15' last night. It happens to all of us. I think it is a lot easier to shoot a deer at 15yds than it is 15ft. This a little like knapping. Soon it'll all fall into place. 2 hogs just came through but didn't give me a shot. Still hoping for one of the 5 does hanging around here. Starting to rain now.

You'll get the next deer that comes in John...look for a big fat deer tick just back of it's shoulder and smash that bug with a piece of Chert!
Are you seeing deer move much in that heat? It is 80+ here too, has been since Tuesday and will be until next thursday and I wasn't even going to bother sitting out for a hunt with the weather this hot but maybe I am throwing away good days of hunting???

The hunting has been great. The deer are moving just like winter and on the same time frame. Warm weather is great for hunting it just is great this year because no bugs. The knapin was great now time to hit the woods for the afternoon hunt.

Well, how is it going?
iowabow:
Not good, my bow is 40 lbs and is not getting the penetration that I want so I have been spending the last week working hard to get a new bow knocked out but finding time to tiller it is an issue with so many activities at work and family. This weekend I shot another doe and she jumped the string and I hit behind the lung and very little penetration and no blood trail. The arrow left with the deer. I might as well be using a Nerf bow. I am setting everything up during the hunt as deer are coming in. I was able stand, pick the hole and wait for the deer to step in and it even stopped as I pulled the sting back I made sure to pick a spot and had a great release. The deer was looking right at me and would have seen everything.
