I feel for you I really do.
Something like that happens to me a lot.
You get sooo close and a little thing seems to happen.
At least you got him real close.
I bet your heart was about to jump out.
You keep going you will get him.
Like this past spring I got the closest to getting a turkey.
He was coming to me but another hunter shot the turkey.
Man that just gets under your skin.
Any Way Good Luck
Oh by the way nice story I enjoyed reading it.
