RE: missed a typical 6 by 6 with dubble drop tines and split brow tines and 3 kickers
5 years ago I missed a 180 inch 12 point (I almost cried), and my hunting buddy missed him the following year too at 30 yards. I had him within 30 yards of me that year too, but could not get a shot. We had spotted him during the night crossing the road several times.He disappeared last year and I fear he got poached.
Last year, I saw a 140 inch 8 point 3 days in a row and missed him at 40 yards the 2nd night.
