So I have had my share of encounters with big bucks. This weekend was no different. I missed a nice one but this year I feel different for some reason. I'm not beating myself up or wishing I waited for a different shot. I missed, simple as that. Deer ducked the arrow I shot a bit high-story over. Now this deer was missing half its rack but was a real mature big boy that I still would of hung on my wall. I had a great weekend with my brother, we both saw deer and it was just wonderful to be at the cabin. I will be back up in two weeks to give it another try with my brother and the kid I mentored the last couple of years. I'll put him in my stand for the weekend and maybe, just maybe this story will have a bit of a twist..............
