--- Quote --- Man, I can't tell you how bad I wanted to be on my feet.  I could not get an arrow nocked and get to my knees to shoot him with a near horizontally canted bow, because he was too close and trying mightily to see what he heard.

Having looked into Native American shooting styles I can see why so many canted their bow and occasionally held the bow horizontal.
They were past masters at sneaking up on game or enemies, getting so close that a standing shot would be counter productive.

Had he not heard me and had stood up without being on high alert looking directly at me, I think I could have zipped an arrow into him from my knees with an almost horizontal cant.  The grass I was in would have required me to shoot with limbs almost parallel to the ground from my knees.  He just knew I was a coyote or something similar, and he was not taking his eyes off of where he heard the noise that made him nervous.  I had to just freeze on all 4s for what seemed like a half hour...btw, that is not a comfy position to be in for any length of time, especially trying to keep your head up and eyes forward.

Nets are for fish and butterflies.

Allyn T:
So which state did you hunt this deer in?

The Cowboy State.

Allyn T:
I can't believe rifle season is that early. I think one of the Carolinas has rifle season all season in half the state
