Thats what makes hunting awesome. At least for me its not all about the kill. Its those types of days that make the memories.
I was thinking the exact same thing. You didn't get him, but you weren't expecting them to even be there. I bet your heart was jumping out of your chest when that 6 was on top of you. If that was me, the smell of urine would've ruined it because I would've pissed myself. :p
Hang in there, remain calm, loose the arrow....you are in the heat of the battle and brother..ya got game!
Now that's what I'm talking about!! In your face action. Now I think you did a great job but people like me would have shot the 6 and just let the 10 go. Who knows maybe next year he will give you that shot you want. Sorry bud, don't beat your self up cuz at least you weren't on the couch doing nothing, you were out learning....
That's a tough situation to be in and I don't think there is anything you could have done. Better luck next time!
I had a smaller buck screw me out of a big boy last year. I literally cried on stand...sucks! Hope you get him!
same thing happened to me in 2010. Mid 160's buck. I'm still pissed at that 7 pointer that screwed my hunt up. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
