went out for about 30 mins yesterday afternoon. It was raining but I planned to stick it out 'TIL a crash of lightning across the field. I don't think I've ever gotten out of a treestand quite so quickly :o . I'm actually glad to see the rain though.
will try again Saturday.

white wood:
hey guys! wednesday night i went out to the stand and had a quiet evening till bout 6ish. footsteps were coming in behind me but i couldnt turn or she would have busted me. then i see a skipper come from across the street. the made there way to my stand but at 30 yards must have cought my scent and she blew at me 8 times! she bounded of a ways and then stopped. so i fugured it wouldnt do any hurt to flif over my can call and to my surprise, she was headed straight at me. she had me tied in a pretzel trying to guess what side of the tree to get ready to aim at. i must have positioned back and forth the maple 5 times!! by the time she was 20 yards, she was behind a brush pile. the skipper was standing right under the tree! at this point three other deer had made there way in but i was focusing on this big doe. all of a sudden, she let her gaurd down, walked around the brush pile and at 10 yards, she put her front foot foreward and streched looking back over herself. perfect! i drew and released my rivercane arrow. smack! she ran off crashing and then it was silent. i waited a while before i climbed down and then i went to the house to put my bow away and grab a better flashlite. i went to were i hit her and found a big clump of dark hair. no blood. i followd the tracks to were i heard he crash and found a little blood. so i backed out and waited till morning. for you guys who leave deer overnight you must get as little sleep as i did. 7a.m. in the morn i found my arrow, it pulled outhe other side apparently while she was booking it through the woods. completely drenched in blood! i was pretty excited. then i found a few leaves completely puddled with blood but as i followed i found less and less blood. 40 yards from the arrow there was no blood at all. my dad and i searched for 5 hours without coming across blood or finding my deer. i let my neighbors know about it so they could keep an eye and ear out for vultures and coyotes. i have been completely bumbed out for the last couple of days and feel like crap. the shot was perfect looking so im completely stumped. i listened from the porch last night for coyotes but there was nothing. i feel really bad but i looked Everywher for her. the coyotes will eventually find her and i hope i hear them so i can find were she ended up. at least then ill know were she ran to. -whitewood

i met with failure also white wood. i shot a spike last night at twelve yards, and the arrow went right behind the shoulder, about four inches back, centered up and down. believe it or not, the arrow BOUNCED off! i am shopoting a dag gone 65 lb bow. the arrow bounced off! stone point, that was pretty dang sharp, must have hit a rib, and caught the arrow in the worst possible wobble it has ever done. they shoot good - i have no ide what happened. did not even draw blood. he stuckl around for about 30 minutes after. no wound no blood started feeding after about 15 minutes out in the field. i have no idea. i am going to the store for some steel broadheads. they fly nicer for me anyway
