first bow hunt advice

Well I saw several deer but nothing ever came close enough for a bow shot, then the last day I took my rifle and went out to the deer stand which I hadn't hunted from yet (as I couldn't draw my bow inside it) the first thing that happened was I got lost, and after 45 min of winding my way through clearings and woods (and getting several face fulls of spider webs)  I finally found a fence line that allowed me to get my bearings. I arrived at the blind with plenty of time (as I had left super early) and i climb up the ladder and try to open the door only to find out that the stand has settled funny and now the plastic doors and walls have warped in such a way as to clamp the door shut. So i decide to go sit on the ground in front of the stand and hope i get a shot before anything sees me, but since i had planed on being in a blind, i didn't have any camo on my head not even a hat. So im just sitting on the ground with the rifle in my lap when the sun comes up, about ten minutes later a big doe steps out about 10 yds to my left takes one look at me and is gone before i can even twitch a muscle. The one day i didn't have a bow on me a deer gets within range, but to be fair if i had brought my bow i wouldn't have posted up there anyways.

Yup, that's exactly how it works.  Glad to hear we don't have to arrest you for breaking Murphy's Law!

Nothing yuckier than a facefulla spiderweb. 

darwin:
maybe I will get another chance in February
