I made a huge mistake a few years ago. I was rifle hunting on a ridge and I was watching these deer walk the ridge. I was looking for a certain buck on my farm and I had no doe tags. As I was watching these deer in the snow walk threw the briars on the ridge I saw him he steped into an opening and my scope fogged up[:@]So i quickly wiped my scope with a paper towel from my pocket pulled the gun up saw the deer found the boiler room and squeezed BANG!!!! Deer scatter everywhere! SO I start my walk down the hill and up the other side. I see the deers belly I was pumped I got up to it pulled it out of the thicket and BAM it was a doe...**** there is no way! [:-]I know it was a buck! Well The only thing I can think of is that when I went to wipe my scope the buck moved on and a doe stood directly where he was head behind the brush! So I clean her up drag her to my car and I call the game warden whom I know. He comes down I explain to him what happens and he says Tim you done it this time...So I'm nervous as hell now. He said where is your doe tag I told him I got my doe in archery he said where is your buck tag I gave it to him. He said pay more attention to your shot next time! He took my deer for the feed the hungry and allowed me to keep hunting. Everytime we see each other he reminds me and I'm still buying him a beer for it. It was an honest mistake but I felt like crap about it and he still reminds me of it all the time. We joke about it now but it was not a joking matter at the time! I was upset! Never did get that buck I was looking for and recently quit gun hunting!
