Lefty26

We just finished up our 3 day ML season here in MD. Had a run in with a nice 8pt in the 125" range on opening day but it wasnt meant to be. The piece that holds the 209 primer broke early in the morning when I was putting the primer in. Anytime I tilted the gun my primer would fall out, well at 9am I decided to climb down and go get the piece to fix my gun. I walked out of the woods into the field and there is an 8 pt standing at the other end about 300 yards away. I snuck up to about 100 yards, and tried to take the shot, but everytime I would try to shoot the bolt would slide forward and the primer would cock to the side and not go off, I tried 3 times to get a shot off but it wasnt working, eventualy the buck worked his way back into the woods. Next 2 days saw a lot of deer including a few bucks but no shooters. Back to the bow until the end of Nov when our rifle season starts.
