RE: missed a typical 6 by 6 with dubble drop tines and split brow tines and 3 kickers
I missed a 12pt with a rifle a several years ago.....it was following my scent drag with it's nose down....as it walked behind a tree I got ready, it came out the other side of the tree and then between two trees. I tried to shoot between the two trees and ended up hitting the tree closest to the shoulder. Definetly disappointed.
Biggest I missed with a bow would have to be a nice 8pt a couple years ago....ranged him at 60yrds, in a rideaway, but as I drew he took a couple steps up the bank quartering away. I didn't compenstate enough for the few steps and shot right under him at what was probaly 64-65yrds. [&:]
