Talk about last minute...my brother got to draw down on a wide seven point (18 inches) at sundown, that was chasing a doe and fending off a smaller 8 point. He had the buck behind his stand in some thick vines, at about 15 yards. Couldn't close the deal..no shot.
He was unscrewing his bow holder, getting ready to call it quits for the season when the woods erupted.
The doe ran all around him with the two bucks in tow until complete darkness. A hopeless situation at the final bell.
Maybe he will live for next year. Who knows?
