re: Whos still in the deer stand

Just curious how the binocs would have helped you on the shot if you couldn't see through your sight? Just a better eyeball of the general area of the shot?

A similar situation happened to me last week, but with hogs. I was about to get down, but 20 hogs came running in to feed about 7:30. I kept drawing back trying to get a bead on them but was too dark to see through the sight. Said frick it, they're hogs and flung one down on the largest object I could see. Found the next day alive and turns out I hit midway back above the guts. Stuck him with two more lethal arrows while chasing him safari style. 100-125 lbs.

That was my first bow kill and will probably not take a shot like that again. Too much uncertainty and potential loss of arrow/broadhead.
