RE: There goes my chance at a brute!!
Sounds like a great hunt. I don't mean to relish on you being busted, but to stare down a buck, of that size, through you peep sight is something special. Good job on your scouting, stand placement,diligence BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR DISCIPLINE ON HOLDING OUT FOR A GOOD, CLEAN SHOT. This will only add to your story when youDOget him.
