Default What buck haunts you???

While reading Buckeye's post I got to thinking of the buck that got away and haunts me. I have a number of them but the worst was a 4.5 or 5.5 year old with 5 points on his left side and a jumbled mass of tines going in every direction on the right. I have no idea what he would have scored, but he had the most unique rack I have ever seen in the woods. He stood 30 yards from my tree for 20 minutes grunting in the fog until he finally presented me with a good shot at 25 yards. I hit him right in the shoulder blade and the arrow didn't penetrate. Not only is he the only deer that I have ever wounded, but he was one heck of a buck. The extremely frustrating thing is I swear that arrow would have been in the 10 ring on a 3D target. I don't know how it didn't go in. It has been 4 years but I think of him almost every time I think about hunting.

Anyone else???
