Default RE: Ever feel haunted by the one that got away?

Here is my worst(or best) of many.

I had only BH for 2 years when this happened. I'm sitting in my stand when a doe being chased by a 110" or so 8 pointer comes running down the hill towards me. They do circles underneathe my tree. I drew back, and every time they would come to the front side I would whistle. Well the whistle wasn't working, so I started meeping, louder and louder. No reaction, and they run off. This whole episode lasted about 2 min. Well, I let down my bow, sit down, and look up. There the whole time watching was the biggest buck I've ever seen in the woods. He knew exactly where I was at thanks to all the noise I made. He turned and jogged away. I'm for sure he would've came by my stand if I hadn't been noisy. My dad shot him that afternoon. He grossed 190" and netted 171".
Every deer season since I can still picture all of this.

good thread.
