That is how my afternoon hunt went!!!! I couldn't get down in the spot I wanted to huntwith the wind. Watched a 135 - 140 class 4pt be king on the hill with 5 does/fawns in that spot. Tried rattling, grunting and the " can "to no avail. Got the does attention but the weeny wouldn't budge !!!

Had a doe and fawn sneak behind and offer no shot.

Then if fate wasn't stabbing me in the back enough... I ran into the Big 5pt on the walk out. He was chasing a doe and and the chase took them 20 some yards from my parkedtruck and then 25 yards from me. It was too dark to shot.The kicker was I talked myself out of bailing outof my hunting spot earlyeven though it was pretty dead. Boy do I regret that!! He sure looked awesome when he skylined himself 40 yards from me and stood broadsideso pretty for 20 seconds until the chase was on again with the doe. If I had gotten back10 minutes earlier !! [:@] [&:] He is a150 class buck and the one I passed onlast year. The 4pt actually had a bigger body but both bucks were good sized.

Hopefully tomorrow goes better!!
