Default Missed a big em...

Argh... On Wednesday I seen a huge bodied buck cross a treeline in my bean field, he thrashed up some trees and wouldnt come into my deke and crusied off. I decided to change spots and hunt the other end and make a ground blind. Well this morning I look over to east and see the beast of a deer about 80yds over. I let out a few grunts and he looked and kept crusin slowly away. I let out a few more aggresive grunts and he perked up and swung around walked right over. He started to get downwind of me (southernly wind) so I was getting ansy on the shot. He got perfectly broadside infront of me and I put the 30 pin on him (NOT THINKING) instead of the 40. Complete Miss.. He ran about 20yds stopped blew some air ran, got to the edge of the field blew some more and left. I watched him through the binos... counted a total of 16pts with the stickers..[&o] Was the biggest deer I have seen hunting. Hes also the first buck to ever blow and that at me. Is it ever possible this deer will return to this same field, or was this like one of them once in a lifetime chances..[&:] On the wednesday I seen him at exactly 5:10pm and this morning at 7:10am. Man I have been skunked the last 2 years... that buck would have set me good for another 5 at least.
