Not always the case though, keep your head up...Im betting he is there, and you will eventually see him. Maybe on the last day of season where it will only serve to tease you until next year, but you will layeyes on him again.

We saw a bruiser from about 80 yards this mornin doggin a doe, all the while the 1.5 horndogs were zig zaggin all over the place in search of tail. an 8 pushed a doe directly under my platform.
