going after him that is.

In January, 1 weekbefore the close of the season,I saw aCabela's buckwhile on the ground. He was making his way towards a man-made structure over a drainage ditch thatconnects two large patches of woods. My bow was drawn but all I had was a straight on shot at 25yds and wasn't confident enough in myself to take that low percentage shot. He figured out what I was afterabout5seconds of standing therethen split but that's besides the point.

EDIT: long posts make people not want to read so just answerthis question please. Then if interested, more info is a few posts below.
