Cougar,

Not picking on you, but if you were in your tree how do you know those deer would have walked down the same path?

I stopped getting mad at myself, when crap like this happens, a long time ago. File it away under, "Damn, that sure was a nice buck I saw"...

I mean, it's just like turkey hunting. You can setup on a bird 3 days in a row, moving to his "flydown" area each day. And on the 3rd day, he flies down to where you aren't again...instead this time, it was where you were sitting on day #1!
