Title: Went on a hike and made a terrible mistake...........
Post by: mossback91 on July 16, 2009, 01:51:27 PM: Well I was focusing on this one buck and didnt bother to pay attention to anything else and WAMM this guy jumps out from about 30 yards below me :'( would have been a terrible mistake if I was hunting..........well sorta cause I watched him and he bedded down again shortly...........

Post by: Tom Reichner on July 16, 2009, 03:41:07 PM: I feel your pain, Moss. I did the same thing this past winter with Whitetails. I was so fixated on a buck with a thin little 4x5 rack that I totally missed a nice heavy 5x5 that was much closer to me. He busted right up out of his bed and the only photo I got was one as he ran away - just a pretty shot of his tail :(
