Yes.Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.A few years ago I had a 9 pointer dead to rights at about 18 yards.I had a little to much finger on my release before I was holding steady on the spot on the buck I was aiming at.A surprise release is most often a good thing but it wasn't in this instance.I was dumbfounded and angry at myself.I didn't realize it at the time but I actually sliced his brisket pretty good.He bounded off,eventually ending up around 70 yards away.He didn't know what had happened.In desperation I grabbed my grunt tube and started grunting to him.When he started steadily coming my way I couldn't believe it.When he got to about 33 yards and would come no further without confirming what he was hearing I put an arrow through his lungs.An incredible range of emotions for one mornings hunt!
