TOO MUCH FOCUS

GregB:
I'm with Pat and Ryan, arrow on and bow in my lap. I've had to many deer sneak up on me before I spotted them. Great story, funny but I'm not sure that much so when you first saw the arrow bounce off his chest. Hope you get another opportunity at him. :)

stickbender:

     I am with Pappy, and the others, you should have already had an arrow nocked.  Why wait till you see a deer, to pull an arrow out of your quiver.  That is just more movement you have to do.  When you start into the woods, you should be ready, with an arrow nocked and ready to go.  You never know what you are going to see, or run into on the way to your stand.  You should be hunting all the way to the stand.  At the very least carry the arrow in your hand.  But at least you had the experience, and were able to laugh about it.  Now you just have to tell people that you only shoot deer in 250 class or better, otherwise, you just shoot them with blunt arrows, to shoo them away, and let them know that if you had wanted to, you could have taken them.  Hopefully, you will get a second chance, and be ready.  Good luck with him.

ive never had to worry about the arra. the quiver design i use makes it easier than hell to get it to the bow. i just usually dont have blunts in there to worry about. plus if i sit in a stand i usually fall asleep and drop everything ;) stalkings a different story, its always nocked.

cowboy:
Yup, I woulda been depressed for a week if it had happened to me Jamie. I'm glad you got a light moment out of it :).

mullet:
  That's funny as hell,, kinda ;) I always have one knocked or sitting in a stand you can use an orthodontis rubber band and a tack at the back of the handle. then you can sleep without dropping it.
