[QUOTE="Snake, post: 5775681, member: 7051"] If anyone has hunted long enough and has hunted wooded terrain it has happened to them . Only thing is you'll probably still remember that one buck as long as you live . Had that happen in Giles Co. one year seen the biggest buck I've ever seen in the wild. He was within about 75 yards but the tree beside the one I was in just had too many limbs for a clean shot . I was hunting with ole trusty Marlin 45-70 at the time and if I had the one I hunt with now Ruger 7mm mag I would have felt comfortable taking that shot. But to the point I still can see that big white rack going up that hill ! I did see him again but no shot presented itself but I did take the pretty decent 8 point he just finished whopping . That 8 point took me 3 1/2 hours dragging him out , I can only imagine if I had of shot that other buck because he was a legitimate 200 pounder if I've ever seen one . May of been one of those times God knew I didn't need to kill that giant because I was by myself and it would have probably killed me trying to get him out . Killed a 11 point once and my friend and I tried to drag him without gutting him nope he was close to a 200 pounder so I just whipped him over and gutted him . Still hard you just don't drag those kind like the normal 125 - 140 dressed bucks !! One thing is though Steve your buck still roams the woods ! [/QUOTE]
