MISSED a DANDY last night
My Buddy put me on a good spot where the night before they saw a nice buck (wall mounter) and a spike come out. I setup about 15 yards upwind to where I thought they would come out and sure enough he came out about 20 yards farther down. I estimated that area to be about 40 yards earlier in the night on the tree line, so when he came out I used my 40 yard pin and aimed a little low. Shot,,,,,,zing right over his back. DANG!<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle> I walked it off where he stood when I shot and he was only 31 yards. he was 6 yards out from the tree line and the tree line was only 37 yards. BUMMER! He would have made a very nice buck and would have been the biggest buck I would have harvest to this point. I have to work on my yardage skills some more. I have been shooting in my yard by just walking around and just estimating yardage. Thought I had it down. I always forget to add adrenaline to the mix... Next time I will walk off the distances on potential shots. Every time I encounter deer I learn. God I love this sport.
