[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 472898, member: 755"] I had practiced drawing back earlier in the day on a fork horn, specifically to focus on calming my nerves. It kind of worked. I actually missed low with my first shot - and he never moved. I think the panic started when I realized my quiver was out of reach and I had to crouch down, reach to grab it, and nock an arrow. There was a mature tree between us that I was able to use to hide while I moved, and when I drew back and stepped out from behind the tree he was still standing right there staring at me. He ran the instant I released. My arrow hit farther back than a guy wants. Severed the femoral and could see he was gushing. I left him alone for 30 minutes, but it was super calm out and I thought I heard him crash. Trail was easy - blood waist high on grass and lots of it. Found him 80 yards from the hit. [/QUOTE]
