I shutter to think of all the big ones that I couldn't put on the ground
One huge 5 point typical comes to mind all to often. After seeing him before season he turned out to be all I would hunt. When I finally saw him in season dissapear in a draw I snuck in with the wind in my face. He pulled a stunt I wasn't expecting and lay wind blind on a hillside, and saw me before I saw him. I got one shot off as he dissapeared up the bottom. I tracked him about a half a mile and jumped him in a small patch of brush at about 300 yards. I saw the bullet hit just behind him, and once again he dissapeared over the hill. I ran over to the edge where he vanished expecting to see him running across the alphalpha field 100 yards below me. After a few seconds he broke out of the brush right below me running strait away. I centered my crosshairs right behind his head knowing I would hit his spine somewhere between his head and tail and pulled the trigger. I think I was already smiling knowing I had him. When my gun went CLICK I almost cried. to this day I don't know why my gun only had 2 rounds in it, it holds 3. Haven't let that happen again. He was 27-28 inch wide whitetail with 14 Inch G-2's I would have guessed him between 185 and 190. The biggest typical I ever missed. I'll tell you about the nontypical another time
