Anyhow, ill fast forward to last weekend, as my early season was boring. So last weekend I was going to get up in my climber and set up in a new spot. Kind of just to scout. Well I finally messed around and got up in the tree and began pulling my bow up, when the bow rope snapped and my now fell to the ground. So after whispering a few select words I climbed down and got my bow. And decided to just say screw the climber and head up to my closest stand. After sitting for awhile, and just before dark, the buck I've been after for 2 years now showed up. 30 yards. Broadside. And me being an idiot I jerked and rushed the shot. Clean miss over his back.
