Good story.  Sometimes the plan just doesn't come together.  I haven't punched a buck tag for 4 years for virtually the same reason as you this season.

Still, it's the way I choose to hunt and I'm comfortable with all my decisions.

You are a better man than I Steve. I don't think I can take it another year. My wife kept telling me "I know you are just nasty because you haven't shot a deer" Haha. Next season I'm slinging some arrows. It will be better on my marriage.

I'm still depressed about two misses and a finished season.............but that is what I need to practice more.

Boy those are some real bruisers.  Thanks for the story.

That was a great post TJ.  Very few people would have been able to pass on that 6x6.  Hopefully, he made it through the gunners.  He'll really be something next season!

WOW to have half that many encounters would be great.
Those are great pictures.
Thanks for taking us with.

I think he's talking about me!  That is a fine looking buck!

Great story and wonderful pictures!  Even though you didn't get the buck that was on your "hit" list, you will have a very memorable season.  Thanks for sharing!
