The buck that haunts me the most is from 3 yrs ago.He was a big non typical.It was early november on a farm I was hunting.The farmer saw him all summer and said he was big.I never did he see him when i glassed the fields.But that Nov. afternoon i saw him and was trailing a doe that came through earlier.He was grunting and and looked like a bird dog in the woods.I knew he would come 15 yds from me if he stayed the same route.But he went to my right and lost her sent in the water .Then went behind some very small sapilings I drew back put the pin right behind his shoulder and couldn t shoot .There were small twiggs over his vitals.Then he turned and walked behind the tree i let down and redrew on the other side of the tree.But he was standing 15yds facing away with nothing but a spine shot.I didn t want to take a spine shot so i let him walk.I don t know how he held his head up with that rack.But i did shoot a nice non typical this year that scored 173 7/8.Those little twigs will get you every time...He was bigger then the deer i shot this year..Then the amish started hunting that property and haven t seen any thing big there since....
