You still had a blast right!!! Happened to me tonight also. 35 mph Winds here in Michigan!! im not gonna use it as an excuse but im pretty sure it is mine. I was hunting from 4-530 about 515 a buck shows up out of no where. He is 25 yards broadside so i go to take my shot and MISS!! It feels horrible in your stomach doesnt it?? The wind was just to strong i dont know why i even hunted but it was deff worth it seeing that buck and almost bringing one home. Im just glad the wind didnt make me wound him.
