RE: Have U heard a shot?
When I stopped to think about it, it's actually happened quite a few times over the years to me.
The WORST one was one morning years ago still in the early season. I was scheduled for surgery later that week and it was going to be my last try for some time. I was set up in a good spot that I decided on while walking in instead of going to where I had planned to go. A little after daylight, I saw two real bruisers walk right past the tree I WAS going to use at 9 yards! [:@] They were on a trail however that came right past the tree I was in. While I watched these two monsters take their time, I could have attempted a shot @ 35 yards, but decided to wait on a high percentage shot that looked like it was about to materialize in a couple more steps. It was at that point that I heard some other hunter shoot from about 75 yards away. I don't know what he was shooting at, but the two giants in front of me didn't care for it and hightailed it away before I ever got a chance. [:@]
