Well i went out around 12 this afternoon, after some lunch and heard that a front was coming through and temps were suppost to drop. Saw a couple of doe run through, but nothing close enough. Then around 2 i hit the grunt tube and rattle bag, and not more then 15 minutes later a monster 12 come running in, full tilt. By now the sky was getting dark and the buck stops at about 40 yards, outside of my comfort range. Not more then 30 seconds after he stops, a huge bolt of lightening followed by the roar of the thunder. The clouds did not even look that bad, but need less to say the buck bolted and oppertunity was gone. Then on my walk out Its starts to Hail. It was coming down hard too. I think it was mother natures way of mocking me, especially becasue this is the same buck i missed opening morning when i shotunder him.
Notgiving up,i will be out there tomorrow, hopefully with better luck!

Mother nature stick her tongue at you Hey ??????????

Well, at least you know he is still out there after you missed. There will be another day.

I had an 8 pt come through, and theen started lightning and thundering, so i got down and ran home, then went back out at 3pm, it was all done with the nasty stuff. And tomorrow they are saying like 25mph winds, so I am putting out my decoy and loading it up with Estrus Urine.
