Booners in Florida are about as scare as alligators in Alaska. Have missed a Poper here though, a great Florida ten with outstanding tine length. He was chasing a doe and I actually grunted him off the doe. He came in to twenty yards and stood facing my tree panting like a dog for about ten minutes. When he finally turned broadside I made a perfect shot on the palmetto bush directly under his heart. Have killed over a hundred deer in Florida with my bow, but no monsters. One tip for hunting big bucks, you can't kill 'em where they don't exist. Been hunting the midwest the last few years and done good!
I feel your pain man !!!!!!!!!! , We just dont have them here , especialy the southern half .
I never missed one , did have one within 15 yards a few years ago , but was taged out for buck , only haveing doe tags left , Ive missed plenty that were not boone an crocket though , Ive been bow hunting 15 years , and this is the first year I scored a booner , elk , not whitetail , Im not complaining .
