Default RE: 30-Team "Double Lung" Official Thread

Sunday evening I drew back on the biggest deer I have ever seeninmy life(seen in person) I decided to hunt a stand that hasnt been hunted since early bow season. I dumped corn there sat. evening before I hunted and went back sun. evening. I had been in the stand since 2:45 and hadnt seen anything. The wind was wrong for where I normally park the 4 wheeler (It would of blown into the food plot) So i decided to park it across the food plot on a bridge that crosses a little canal. Right at dark I heard deer moving to my leftso i looked and about 3 min later saw 2 doe and a yearling. I started to stand up and saw a massive buck on my right I paused in a squating position for what seemed like hours till I could finish standing up. The buck went behind my stand and the biggest doe (the momma) went to the corn. The buck followed her while the other doe and yearling stood at the edge of the food plot. Here comes the crazy part. Out of all the deer theyearling spotted my 4 wheeler and started freaking out. she stuck her head out of the woods and jumped back in 3 different times. The momma doe kept looking back at the yearling and I could tell she was getting pretty nervous. The buck didnt seem to care and didnt see the bike. He started moving towards the corn and I drew back. The yearling was getting even more skiddish.My pins were on his chest and finger on the release.I needed him to take a little step (i was already leaning out of my stand as far as i could) The yearling bolted and the momma doe took off along with that huge buck. I couldnt talk the rest of the night. I was so dissapointed and experienced one of the worst feelings ive ever felt. I thought out of all deer it would be the buck to be spooked by a 4 wheeler, not a yearling. Good news is Im skipping my first two classes in the morning to hunt the last day of my season and I get to hunt 3 more times this weekend on a friends property before the season closes.
