Title: Missed Buck
Post by: JerryKern on October 20, 2024, 10:38:30 AM: I missed a buck this morning. I shot at him twice and disappeared into the thicket. Should I go hunt a different cut or go back to the same one? I’m worried he won’t show up again and I only have two more days to hunt this coming weekend. Also he was with one doe.
