Default RE: SO HOW MANY DID YOU MISS?

The one that haunts me the most! Classic case of BUCK FEVER! I am walking down the railroad tracks and notice 3 or 4 hunters up ahead of me heading into the property behind ours. They are driving the piece away from the tracks but I figure I'll hang out and see if anything cuts back on them. Not 2 minutes later do I see a monster 10 to 12 point buck bust out of the thicket and start running down a pretty open field towards me. The tracks are about 10 feet higher then the ground on either side so I could see him real well. There is a line of thick cover that runs along the tracks and I lost site of him for about 3 to 5 seconds. He was angling away from me when he went in and I was crouched down walking fast to try and close the distance for the shot when he crossed the tracks. Well in the thicket he changed direction and (get this) jumps out dead even with me almost running me over! I pointed the gun (never aimed!) and let 3 shots of 00 fly but never stopped staring at the huge rack on his head! I never touched him. I watched him cross a huge corn field cross the road and heard 2 shots about a minute later! I was sick for the rest of the season! I feel sick right now typing this!!!! I have to go now.............
