    Guys a quick story from last friday.I went out with a friend in hopes of harvesting a nice buck,(two weeks ago I finally bagged my first ever deer with my bow, a nice 3 point). 5 pm rolls around and the does started moving and I remember my pal telling me "watch behind you, they come frome anywhere", well he did. A MASSIVE chocolate bar colored bone colered antlered 12.Huge! I plastered him at 11 yards, watched him run into really thick stuff and dissapear. After awhile, we both take up blood trail and after about 100-150 yards we lost it. We backed out till the next morning, still nothing, and Sunday rolled around and nothing. The depression cannot get any worse. I thought I put a good shot on him and as the days tick away, my dreams of holding a monster are ticking away with it. This sucks. GROMMEL. Boys, he was a beast! I`m gonna go cry!:cry:

    I never have hit a big deer and lost it but I sure have missed my fair share. It sucks and everytime you think about it, it makes you want to puke. Stick with it. It happens to the best of 'em
