Sick feeling in your gut? Staring aimlessly into space? Unable to think of anything else? Ready to put the bow away?

I know it all to well Country...I never gave up hope and neither did my buddies.. Keep at it. My fingers are crossed for ya.

Don't give up man!!
Put 200% effor into this. Close to 24 man hours have been put unto this. We have been crawling, hands and knees, through the absolute thickest stuff you can imagine. Only getting about 5 yards every 10 minutes or so. Perfect shot and everything. I have never wored so hard at anything. American585 took off work to help me again today, he can attest to the effort we put into this for the past 2.5 days.
 
well you sure put in the effort.... Looks like the Coyotes and bears will eat well the next few days.

I know how you feel bud I've been there to.

No need for me to get home early, if your close by, I'll stop and help...
I really appreciate it fellas, but the ***** and yotes and what not have done their job I'm sure. Stinks, but I know we put everything we had into it. It's alot easir to live with it knowing you put soo much effort into it, I couldn't sleep at night if we didn't do what we've been doing the last few days.
 
Very Sorry :(

Chin up brother. You did your best. That is all you can ask.

As my buddy told me one time after loosing a 9 pointer. The bitter feelings will subside eventually.

Well--it seems that you put a lot of effort
Thanks Bob, we sure did. I have bear dookie all over my clothes...hands, knees, face and arms are just torn up from the stuff we climbed through...and I'm flat out beat.
 
The first 4 weeks of the season i was out every monday and saw nothing. There was sign everywhere but no deer.Only a little fox. Then first monday out of permit had a six 2 yds from my stand but of course no EAB yet[down] Then the next monday had 3 does about 30yds behind me with heavy brush and no shot. Then cam a big 8 chasin like crazy. They did that for over an hour. About an 1hr later a spike walked right under me(more like a button so i was gonna take him just to fill my EAB but he was so close he saw me move just a bit to lock my release and bye bye. Now this past thurs nothing again.Hopefully wedns turns out better!!!!
