Well I will give you another short story!

Opening morning the boy and I had passed up a couple small bucks just out of his bow range. We got a little cold so we headed back up to the truck to warm up for an hour or so.. We got back on stand about 1pm and at about 1:20 had a big doe come through at about 50 yards! As I was about to shoot the big doe she gets my wind and takes off!! So in the heat of the moment I make a bad choice and shoot at the smaller doe that was with her(thought it was bigger)..1st shot..clean miss! 2nd shot the deer drops in its tracks in the tall grass! Thinking its a done deal I unload my gun and start to get down when all of a sudden the deer come running right back at us

I tell my boy who has his bow to get ready-she stops at about 10 yards and he puts a great shot on her! She runs off about  20 yards and goes down for good. The only problem was she is a he!!!! Thats right folks, I almost shot a button buck! When we go to get him you can see that I hit just above the spine hitting no vitals.  Now why he went down and sat there for 5 minutes I have no clue.  But in the end my boy gets his 1st deer and its with his bow!

Talk about not hearing the end of it from my friends and my son! I would have been mad that I shot a BB but the story had a great ending for a 10 year old boy and his bow..from now on its a HUGE DOE or nothing
