Had the same thing happen to me....lol

I was hunting the last week of our season many years ago. We had a buck pool at the archery shop and no one really turned in a decent winning buck. I passed on a few all season that might have been close but I wasn't sure and they were rather small. Well, we were counting spread and points and I was all the way down my tree one day around 11:00 because I hadn't seen a thing and was freezing. Bow on the ground, I heard the steps of a buck, you know it when you hear it and sure nuff, a nice 6 with a wide spread walked by me at 15 yards. I just picked up my bow as he passed and he stopped, looked at me and was gone in a flash.....

Oh well, no one collected the pool and we had a great party for the shop with it so everyone won!

Learned a lesson that day tho, that's what I love about hunting, especially bowhunting, something to learn daily.
