Maybe I'm lucky to be happy just getting out and seeing animals. I'm sure when you've got a shooter in front of you and EAB screws that up so you can't take the shot it's got to be frusterating. I'd personally would look at the positives from the situation. You saw a good buck and had a shooting opportunity. You also got to watch a whitetail up close. I love when I'm able to watch a deer do it's thing in nature. I'm always looking to learn by watching them.
