Illinois 2nd season fumble
Had a nice 8 pt at about 30 yds this morning and when he stepped out I made a sound (translation: crappy voice grunt/bleat) to stop him and instead he just bolted a few yards and went back into the brush. [:@]
I've been kicking myself thinking I should have just pulled the trigger but then again I shoot a muzzleloader and its hard to recover from a botched shot so I needed to stop him. I think I did the right thing....
I do get kind of retarded when I'm around nice bucks (I can't believe I've managed to kill the ones I have)so I probably just startled him by being too loud. [>:]Either way....it hurts real bad.
