Yup, had a buck that would go atleast 230" pass by me at 23yards, but I was playing my PSP and it was either shoot him or lose my progress in the game.

Since I was hunting a field edge, I figured he would hang around and I'd get another shot.

I continued to play until I reached a save point in the game. I save, turn off the PSP, grab my bow, look up- to my surprise, he was gone. I stayed until dark, he never showed.

I havnt been back since.
Dream on brother!

Haha I believe I would just have to start my game over after I skinned out my 230" buck

I shot at a 150" 10 pointer quarter at 12 yards at 8 am - hit a branch.
11:20 am I had my bow hung up, just got into the stand literally and an honest 185"-190" monster saunders in and stops at .. about 12 yards, where the one I missed stood 4 hours earlier.


oh. .... and at dark? I had a 140" 8 pointer jump my string, shot just over his back .... so yeah, missed 2 P&Y bucks and didn't even get to draw on the biggest living whitetail I've ever seen


best day of hunting I ever had I think !!!

Anyone ever have one deer that they never got that they just cant forget about?
One particular buck haunts me every year. Way back when I was a bowhunting idiot (no smart comments [8D])... ok so I am still a bowhunting idiot. Anyway I shot a 130" 10 pointer. My first "big buck" I shot at. I knew I shot it a little far back with no pass through. So I procceeded to wait ohhhhhhhhh about as long as it took me to get down from my stand to take up the trail. Sure enough blood. Then walked another 40 yards and sure enough pool of blood in the tall swail where he bedded. Followed pretty good blood for another 50 yards and another pool of blood where he bedded again. Followed spotty blood for about 150 yards and another pool of blood where he bedded. You get the point. I continued pushing him where he would have died about 20 different times [:@]. About 72 hours later, tracking dogs, no sleep, and 812 miles on my feet I never found him. I can hardly stand to hunt out of that stand anymore. I'd really like that day back.
