Default RE: He missed it!!!

Ok the way I see it is a timing issue, the mans spends the bulk hunting a blind/stand where he's put forth the effort and scouted obviously to choose the spot. B/C he happens to live amongest his area and on the odd occasion might get an opportunity during season is just timing not preference! I have to say I loath Road Hunters (here it is perfectly legal, as long as you don't shoot along or across them), that being said a number of years ago I was moving positions and lucked upon a damn fine buck chasing a girlfriend. I made a quick trot down a small willow run and I dropped the fella...now at the time I was in my truck and spotted him chasing from it. I will make no bones about it was pure and simple luck(right place right time), while the large pasture I was hunting is awesome country and it could happen at anytime, the fact it did on that day was misnomer and really had little to do with my doing except knowing where to run and putting a good shot on the deer. I will equally freely admit that it might not have been the best story of my hunting career but in the same token I would do it again if it was legit without question. I have very few hunts that luck is the main component so when it happens I will gladly stare the devil in the eye and try to make it count! To me this is no different than a hunter going for a stroll on a bush road and happening across a deer, elk, moose or bear...right place, right time! Go out buy yourself a lotto ticket b/c todays was your lucky day...IMHO. For that 1 lucky harvest I have way more blood, sweat and tears hunts than I care to recount! I would hazard a guess this gentleman or any other hunter would easily agree that on those rare occasion of just happening upon a xxxx...why not!

I am a bit fanatical about hunting, it is my passion but I also realize it very much is a sport of within...meaning you make and take what you want out of it. So as long as it is legal and your happy within yourself ALL THE POWER TO YEAH!!!
