Opening Archery lets hear the stories

Well my son and I had a lot of fun but no venison in the freezer “yet”. Opening morning found us a little behind the deer with no shot opportunity. So we got out of the area without spooking them to bad so we could hunt the next morning. We went to where the private property is and bumped three 4 points out and Taylor could not get his arrow out of the quiver fast enough. But the deer knew we where there and we could not get closer than 80 yards. There was a 2 point that came within 35 yards but he was set on the 4 points and I didn’t disagree. They got out of there safe that mooring and we decided this was where we would spend the evening hunt if we didn’t get one later. We headed to another property, and to my surprise the deer where not there. As we left for lunch I saw a few guys dragging a nice buck to the road (public land) it turned out to be one of the bucks we where seeing on the private side he was working his way across the field and crossed the road in front of these guys (who turned out to be pretty cool) as they where heading to breakfast one got a shat at the better of the bucks a 3x4 I had seen bedding on the land we hunt. I told them I was happy for them. The only bad part is the scattered the herd away from the land we planned on hunting. So that area was shot for the next few days. I plan on hitting it by my self next week. Unless my son makes it down (its his moms weekend so cross your fingers) so the night hunt got screwed also, they where cutting. For some reason all the does came back to the field but not one buck was with them. So in the morning we got set up and almost everything was perfect. The deer where on the wrong side (where we where the day before) this time I drove over to what side leaving my son where we where. There where 3 bucks the nice three point here

and another 3 point and a 2 point. I started toward them to drive them to my son. And he nice 3 point was standing broad side at 67 yards looking away from me. I was planning on shooting but it was such a nice shot I decided to take it. I pulled back and released my 60 yd pin sitting right under his spine under his shoulder. The arrow dropped short. Under his belly (that will teach me not to shoot my broad heads to make sure the distance is the same at 60yrds), I missed clean. The deer all ran right to my son who in his excitement pulled the knock off the string and his arrow dropped to the ground. He put the arrow back on now the 2 point was coming up and did the same thing. (afterword I talked to him about taking his finger off the arrow when pulling it back) the night hunt found him pulling back on the same running 3 point at 60 yrds and not releasing because the deer would not stop. I am proud of him and hope we get many more hunting opportunities in our future years. This was his first year hunting deer and I think I hooked him for life. Next year I told him I would buy him his own bow, he is so excided. I am too to tell you the truth.
