[QUOTE="Stalkhunter, post: 5757201, member: 10058"] [I]The morning did not start off well, I got a late start but ended up making up time. Got to the farm got Encore06 unloaded and he is heading to shooting house. I told him I would be up. He sat there a minute and as I reached across to start four wheel feet planted on ground I hear and felt a big pop in my left calf. I went back over to Carl limping and told him I torn something in my calf. I told him to go ahead and go and I would be up there as soon as I could. I got on my four wheeler everything packed, went up to the shooting house got him set in and I was going down to the bottom of the Holler. I could barely walk up the hill as I parked my four wheeler and had about 120 yard walk. I finally got sit in next to these two Elm trees. I started doing a calling sequence hurting of course lol. I was looking down in the Holler and I see a limb move and I thought was that a deer and I got my binoculars up at about 9 o'clock. I didn't see anything moving in that spot. So I turn to my left direction I was facing up a perfect hill and there stands a buck at 83 yards after the shot with range finder. I thought was 105 yards my eyes are going. I had to move slightly in my chair and I had no rest cause I normally sit on the ground. I had tree limbs in front of me. I did not cut them because I did not wanna silhouette myself. When I looked back there, I seen this buck standing there I grunted he looked at me just behind a 3 foot pine tree I put the crosshairs on the top of his shoulder, based on me shooting a 300 grain bullet up hill . I never felt the gun go off had a steady hold I thought, but I aimed too high. I over compensated and was sitting shooting in off hand. Aimed at the top of his shoulder and I gave him a haircut. I found just a tad bit of hair but no blown out hair from the other side of him. Smoked cleared and he was hauling ass No blood seen him run like a bat out of heck over the hill. I looked for about an hour and a half two hours. There's only just so far he can go based on what I thought he fell down in the field if I had hit him, but there was no blood. I search the side of the hill and all directions up down around circled and nothing. I feel very comfortable that I was a good miss. I went up on the other side of the hill past the open field no blood I went up the hill a little ways no blood I circled for probably a good, 200, 300 yards nothing went back and look again nothing so I'm comfortable with missing so I will take time and get back at it again but not today I got to go shoot my gun just to make sure It was a great hunt this morning with mishaps. Of course that happened and that's OK. I still got a long two weeks to go ibuprofen water up and we're good to go.
