RE: Worst Day in The Woods... whats your
For me it was this year hunting Chenango County on some really nice private land I had permission for. I stalked a nice sized buck for about an hour, the whole time waiting to get a clear shot (I am a very picky shooter, one shot one kill all the way). I was doingreally good, staying like 40 feet up wind of him the whole time, it was my best stalk.
The buck stepped int oa clearing and I figured if I could get througha little patch of thick stuff that was left between us, I would finally have my shot. I was midstep when I felta breeze on the back of my neck and saw, in slow motion, the bucklift his head and turn in my direction. I probabbly could have taken the shot and seriously wounded him enough to find him the next morning, but I passed it up and watchedhis tail as he bounded away.
Maybe next year....
