Default I missed


Well I had a shot at a nice buck yesterday evening at 4:28 PM
The long story short
I was covering a heavy patck of thickest and to my back was the Corn field.I posted about 30 yard from the clearing and for some strange reason look to my right into the left rear corner and the deer starts entering the cut corn field.
The shot about 150 yards but I need to sneak up at least 20 yards to try to get a clear shot.The buck was not stupid each step I took his head came up and look in my direction 20 steps took a life time.
O.K. it now or never I placed the Cross hair about 3 to 4" under the spine and to my surprise the bullet went over it back and kick up the dirt behind him,so I new it was a clean miss:Tail up and ran like hell.I walk over to were I notice the hoof kick up no blood no hair
I know at 50 yards 3" high my load 240 XTP 95 Grain of BH 209
I should of aim dead center
