Default Kicking myself in the a*#

Well sort of that is. I hunted this morning and it was great! 31 degrees, dead calm, and deer everywhere as soon as it was light enough to see. I had a decent 8 pt. chase a doe by me twice. I had does and fawns within 20 yds. on several occasions. Then, at about 7:45 a.m., I saw a 150 class buck working a scrape behind me at 50yds. I grunted, and though he perked up, he would not come in. I saw deer all the way 'till 10:30 a.m. and the I snuck out. Well, tonight I went to the same spot and had more does and fawns everywhere. Then, at 6:20 p.m., a 135" 8 pt. comes right to me with a basket rack 10 pt. behind him. I had this deer at 10 yds. broadside for the last 10 min. of legal shooting time and I chose to pass on him because of the buck I saw this morning. He ended up sticking around under me until almost 7:00 p.m. I left my climber on the tree and I will be hunting there in the morning. I don't normally post stuff like this, but I knew you guys would understand. I think my wife is getting a little tired of hearing me say "well maybe I should have...." Anyway, I just had to vent.
