Really screwed up Saturday and I still want to kick my own ...... Missed my mark on setting up in the pitch black by about 50 yards, but figured I'd sit to not stir anything up. After an hour of seeing 1 spike cross the field I decided to move and I come up over the crown of the hill I wanted to be sitting on. A forkhorn was in the same cut corn row I was walking in so I sat and watched. He moved to the edge and out of nowhere comes a buck. He had 6 points on one side and 5(not 100% sure on the 5)on the other. He started walking away so I tried to move to get a shot. The fork caught a glimpse of me but didn't spook. He did start circling downwind of me. Just as I got to a good spot to shoot I start hearing the fork stomp and snort. The other buck looks up so I shot and he jumped a little and went behind a tree and casually walked off. No traces of blood and no dead deer. Case of buck fever or just panic of this being the biggest I've had the chance to take.
