Default I had an 8 pointer at 25 yards and blew it.

I went out tonight for an evening hunt and got out there kinda late. It was around 4:30 before i got in my stand because I helped my buddy find this spot that he had never gone to before. Around 6:30 i get a text saying there are deer in the field to my right. I didnt think much of it because my buddy was a good 150 yards away. Next thing I know I look toward the field and there is this nice 8 pointer 25 yards away. Well, I wasnt patient enough and when i reached for my bow on my left side and swung back around he busted my movement. Him and another small buck took off. The good thing was he didnt smell me, he didnt snort, and he didnt even give me the white flag as he ran away. I am really aggrevated at myself, but i know to be more patient next time. Plus this is the first deer ive seen on this property and it happened to be about a 110" eight pointer. I'm pumped and dissapointed at the same time.

I have to admit it's pretty cool knowing there's a nice buck out there. My buddy's getting a trail cam, and we are going to put it out there soon.
