On my way into the woods this afternoon somehow 2 arrows dropped out of my POS quiver. I noticed when i got into my stand but figured it wasn't worth getting back down since I had no idea where they fell. Well around 3:45 a nice 6 pointer comes rolling in. I stand up and watch him do some scrapping and pee'ing. Hes a good distance away so I draw, let him come in a bit, line up my bottom pin and let it fly. Arrows shoots under his belly by inches. The buck takes about 10 steps and stops looking around like WTF was that. As I renotch up he walks around the back of my stand but is still a good distance and stops. Well my backpack is on a hook right in the way so I'm trying to sight in and looking back and forth between my sights and bag to make sure I'm going to clear it. Bottom pin again on him and let it fly. LOW AGAIN. Look down at my quiver and F-ING EMPTY. I'm soooooo pissed - I mean COME ON!!!! He does another WTF and walks around for a good couple minutes while i'm just watching him with nothing but my pocket knife to throw at him. He came within 20 or so yards of my stand and by then he was completely down wind of me. Well he must have picked up my scent as he jumped and ran away. I waited for a while and got down to look for the arrows.
Get this - The best part of the story is he ran right over the 2 arrows that fell!!!!!! They weren't more than 50 yards from my stand. Tomorrow I'm going in with a backpack full - and going to wait a bit longer before I shoot. Soooo angry.
