Greg Miller wrote about this in his book Aggresive Whitetail Hunting. he said he patterned a buck to a T and then some guy whacked him during rifle season. You just gotta shrug it off and start looking for other deer. can't be swept up in one deer. right now i've got a big 10 point that im staking out claims on but if he gets killed by somebody else i got hte mindset to know that i have other large deer to hunt and it wasnt my buck in the first place.
