In 2009 just minutes after I arrowed my first 8 pointer. I had a larger 8 pointer come in within 30yds and all I could do was watch. In MD you have to kill 2 does before you can take your bonus buck.
Last year I had a group of 8 does and a buck come in from a field. Nice 8 but they turned at the fence line and went in further down. I held off shooting a couple small bucks later that day hoping I would get a shot at the 8 and never saw him again the rest of last year.
