I missed a 190" class buck with a rifle last year. It was broadside at 75 yards staring right me. Now, how do I know it was a 190" class deer? Another guy in our camp ended up shooting him later.

That buck should have been mine! I am a sharp shooter and know my way around a rifle more than most. However, I get buck fever more than most and love every minute of it. The moment I stop getting so excited I am gonna stop hunting. I have been hunting for 3 decades and I still have missed more deer than I have shot. I would not have it any other way.

Chin up my friend. I am just happy you still get out into the woods and have a chance to miss all those deer out there.
