Solax, How high do you get. My guess is that your too low for your area. I know where your hunting and I would get 28+. You won't get the big boy if this keeps happening to you. Also, stand and be ready to shoot before the deer gets to your area. If your not standing and ready to shoot you may find yourself out of position if a big buck comes in quick.

Good luck and congrads on your steaks.
