[QUOTE="infoman jr., post: 4552480, member: 2046"] I could a write a book of screwups from my 2016 season. I shot and lost this buck, a 7x4, in velvet. He survived and ended up being killed by the neighbors in rifle season. [url=https://imgur.com/IqHRSAm][img]http://i.imgur.com/IqHRSAm.jpg[/img][/url] I missed this buck at 25 yards in November. I just choked. My hunting partner killed him the following morning a few hundred yards away. [url=https://imgur.com/yueoMKk][img]http://i.imgur.com/yueoMKk.jpg[/img][/url] A few days later, I had shot a doe because I hadn't killed a deer yet. I was sitting on the ground beside the doe on a woods road waiting on my buddy to bring the ranger to me, and up trotted a doe followed by a big 10. The buck stopped 5 yards away from me looking away. I had time to put my release on, but there was nothing I could do. I knew better than to shoot a doe in the rut. Again in November, I was 30 yards from this deer when his picture was being taken (same place as the previous encounter). That stand faced the other direction and I didn't see him until he was at 20 yards behind me. I grabbed my bow, and I decided I needed to pivot the EZ Hanger out of the way so my limb wouldn't hit. He saw me and bounded off. I could have just shot him while sitting. [url=https://imgur.com/CfIspvk][img]http://i.imgur.com/CfIspvk.jpg[/img][/url] After all that, I just used my buck tag on a doe and called it quits for the year. [/QUOTE]
