(not the biggest deer ever but incredible to me.) He walks out perfectly broadside at about 20 yards (has no idea im there) I draw and stop him........right over his back about 1'' and he runs off. If this has ever happened to you im sure you relize it makes your watches a little harder to sit. I honestly dont beleive im gunna get another shot at a deer of this quality and am the most discouraged ive ever been.....I definately feel I blew my season BIG time, anyone got any relavent stories or advice that might be somewhat encouraging?
Snipe cheer up little buckO ...I know you missed the buck but what a story you have to tell ...its one you will never forget ..bitter sweet I suppose but its better then a sharp stick in the eye ...and just think maybe you will get a shot at him NEXT year when hes even larger ...
