Didn’t let anybody down!! It’s all part of the game!! Keep at it! Luv the effort!!!!Guys, I've failed. Had an opportunity at a fantastic mountain buck. Pulled 2 all day sits friday and saturday, a mile and a half from the truck. Finally at 530 on the second evening had this big joker slip through the laurel on the opposite ridge from me. My entire season leading up to this came down to an 80 yard shot through a small window of laurel. I had a good rest, took my time, and (although I have not checked my scope since then) I got buck fever and must have pulled the shot, resulting in a non fatal hit. I tracked sparse blood for 45 yards until losing the trail. Returned the following day and continued the trail for 20 or so yards. Myself and a friend combed the mountain for 4 hours seaching through laurel and creek bottoms, but did not recover the buck.
This would have been my first public land buck, and quite possibly my largest ever. Sorry I let the team down.
I'm with @LtMoe66. I enjoy this contest every year just for the shear fact of getting to know guys better, to "chew the fat." it's almost like a 4 month long virtual deer camp. It isn't about the points on the boardDidn’t let anybody down!! It’s all part of the game!! Keep at it! Luv the effort!!!!
I swear I was going to comment today on here about "It isn't over until the fat doe sings" but I caught up in something at work... congratulations, again lolYou guys are quiet!
I completed my doe management for the year last night. I'm going to skip muzzleloader hunting and just scout and put in family time until January 1st when I have a fresh bow buck tag in my pocket and go for the trifecta this year.
