Well guys I got out there before daylight with 5 guys to look for that buck. We sat at the clering and waited for enough light to start looking. And guess who comes trotting by chasing a doe. Yup I missed......and i couldn't get a shot at him this morning.

I never take shots at moving deer, running or walking. the 2 times I have resulted in missed deer that i spent way to long looking for.

I feel a lot better knowing i didn't wound that buck. Though my uncle says he could see missing hair from the top of his back  :dunno:


I sat right where I shot from today and what I didn't see last night due to lower light was a bunch of small branches sticking up about 3/4 of the way to the deer. Idk if I might have hit those or not (never looked after seeing that buck run through the clearing)
