Default Bummer - Missed opportunity!

I hunted friday morning, 20 minutes after sunrise, I see a buck trotting at about 60 yards and comming my way. Its a huge 8 point that I have a bunch of photos from the game cam. This buck was CRAZY! He was running back and forth, he' d run up ahead then backtrack. He' d spin in circles, nose to the ground, occasional grunts. I waited for my chance........twice this buck got 15 yards from me, but it was still always zigging and zagging, turning and twisting. And then gone!!!!!! I never got a shot!!!!!!! There was no way to get a responsible shot. I grunted twice during this specticle, it did nothing. 30 minutes later another buck (a nice nine pointer) came from the same direction. Once again, it was like it was on drugs, and someone was shooting it in the butt with a BB gun. All over the place it never stopped!!!! This one came through on my other side and checked out different spots, but never stopping! Once again, this buck got 18 yards away and I didn' t get a shot. Looking back I' m glad I didn' t I' d like to let him get bigger next year. But that first one, was a shooter!!

I' m sure these bucks are looking/searching for hot does, but geeees! I hope I can get a shot.
