A couple of years ago I had the largest buck I've ever seen while hunting walk 50-60 yards away from me. That's way outside my comfort zone, so I didn't take a shot, even though it pained me to watch him go on his merry way. The real kicker is I had a good feeling about that trail based on my scouting, but there wasn't a suitable tree closer to the trail for my climbing stand (either too small or too big). Stand placement is everything.
