I had a huge 10 point at 11 yards and broadside to me in Sept. Couldn't shoot because of tree branches between us. His smaller racked brother was about 35 yards away waiting impatiently for the big one to follow him and spotted me drawing when the big one was stepping into the open. Never saw him again ... but hope to!

Friday night, I thought I was going to get a second chance when a really big buck came in that I thought was the 10 - it was an equally impressive 8 point that approached my stand from every angle without offering a shot. I must have clipped into my string loop 6 or 7 times and then unhooked in order to bleat or grunt at him. When it looked like I was FINALLY gonna get a shot ... my arrow came off the string from all the hook ups and fell to the ground! Incredibly, he kept coming AND I was able to nock another arrow undetected. However, he DID see me clip into the string loop! I'm hoping to see him again too.
