[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2899674, member: 63925"] Haha! In Mid November last couple days of bow in 2019, my right shoulder was trashed. Could hardly pull 60lb, pain was unbearable. I had complete reconstructive surgery planned first week of December. I told son maybe 2-3 shots left in shoulder at best. My son told me to use his hang on stand. This is on a farm in Indiana since "[B]I can't get into trouble there.[/B]"! I climbed into it on edge of bedding area off ag field of cut beans. This field had hedgerows in both sides with cut over between to next large field. It was 17 degrees and was in stand hour before daylight! Several shooters on camera. About 2 hours plus past daylight, NADA! Normal for transient ag fields traffic. But then a really nice buck chases 3 does right up under my tree. I can't move a muscle!!!! They move off into bedding area and no shot!🤬🤬🤬 Bummed! Then for whatever reason, snap and here comes buck! Stops at 12 yds, started to draw and could hardly pull bow back! Pain was horrible! Got bow back and the normal process of settling pin, relax, squeeze shot off went out window. Pin hit his kill zone, arrow gone! Perfect double lung! Takes off running toward cut between fields! I am saying YEAH! Run toward truck! THEN, oh 💩, buck hits cut and turns left off culvert and does perfect 10 flip into deep drainage ditch! Prob 10' deep! First I released some interesting expletives then it was pure laughter. All I could think was son's statement : "[B]can't get into trouble there".![/B] Hurt like dickens to pull bow back at 60 lbs.
