mine would have been what I didnt do... late into the season last year after I had already killed one nice buck.... I was bowhunting during the rifle season here during late November. Temp were really cold.. teens, and below zero at night...

From acreek bottomstand Iwas hunting,I started seeing/via binoculars about 600 yards away...a doe family group frequenting this one particular edge of an old clearcut . After glassing these does from my position I think it was two days in a row, I told myself"You need to get up there asap, hang a stand on that mountainside edgeand wait to see what kind of buck shows up on those does"...

Well I didnt do it the next day and I could have, I feel I chose the easier way out ofjust hunting another "good" stand instead of doing the work and getting set upon that mountain side clearcut....The season was starting to wear on me a bit and I got lazy.....I chose to hunt a stand I had already had hung. While sitting in the stand that I chose, I could now glass about 1000 yards away and still watch that same edge.. SURE enough.. on the third day a whopper buck, (150 plus)..showed up down there with those does. All I could do was sit and watch him in my binocs from about 1/2 a mile away..Heworked those doesright on that clear cut line for a good solid 5 minutes out in the open.. YOU Dont see this much here, especially during rifle season...I didnt listen to that little voice insideand I should have.. I ended up seeing one more really nice 135-140 class buck there two days later.. so I missed out on at least two great bucks in 3 days.. simply because i didnt follow my intuition... I think the fact that is was bitter cold and that I had options... I got lazy and chose the easier option.
