I normally never hunt on the ground but yesterday I found myself in an extremely poorly made ground blind and low and behold a doe popped out shortly before dark. The minute she stepped out of the broom sage she had me pegged but not enough to give her a good scare. After a few minutes of the typical head bobbing and nervousness she began to walk into a window for a shot but still focusing her attention on me, but she turned and looked back giving me a chance to draw. As soon as I came to full draw she focused her attention back on me and I released an arrow at what I estimated to be about 35 yards, and I swear it looked like that deer was almost gone by the time the arrow reached her. Needless to say she got away unscathed, but this got me to thinking..
Anybody had seemingly well placed shots go awry because the deer had you pegged when you shot? I know jumping the string used to be a big thing but I seldom hear of it anymore.
