Yesterday i snort wheezed in a smaller 8pt that was chasing a doe. He gave me 30yd broadside shot but when I shot he ducked the arrow and it went right over his back. I was devastated but I decided to come back this morning hoping he was still in the area. It had already gotten light out and I had yet to see a deer when i caught movement off too my left. It was a big eight point bigger than than the 10pt I shot. The big eight was dogging a doe and wasn't interested in my grunt or bleat calls. As he moved to about 100yds away I heard leaves crunching to my right and i slowly turned to see the 10pt following the scent trail I had laid with James Valley lethal weapon scent. There was no way I could let him walk away even though the other bigger eight point was still in the area. He followed the scent trail past my stand at 20yds and gave me a 20yd broadside shot. My rage 3blade broad head did a number on him and he only went about 60yds and piled up. This is probably the only occasion I'm happy I missed because if I hadn't missed the smaller eight point the day before I never would of had a chance at the ten point. Any ideas what he will score?

I'm guessing he'll score around 110-115. Congrats on a fine buck! Hey you think you can send some of that good luck my way? I have been seeing bucks too, but it just hasn't been working my way.
