Kaffer62 Report post Posted November 26, 2013 After not being drawn for deer, I picked up a leftover tag. I haven't had much time to write a story but here is a quick overview. We hunted the week hard, glassing up 20 bucks and countless does. I ended up missing a big buck on Sunday, but I can blame no body but myself. I ended up shooting right over his back, I would not like to go into details due to the fact it is still painful but it was a calculation error on my part. Buck fever right?? On the 2nd to the last day, I shot this guy. Nice little basket buck which will make some pretty tasty tamales. Another year in the sticks with my family is priceless. We are getting ready for a late rifle bull hunt this week. Good luck to all of the elk hunters out there! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander79 Report post Posted November 26, 2013 I hate missing. Is it better to have shot and missed or never got a shot at all? That is a question I've had to ask my self in the past. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaffer62 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks guys. It was another year out there with my dad which I am thankful for! Justin, I never taped him but I already dropped him off to have the skull cleaned out for a Euro mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 Think He's Asking What We All Want To Know.How. Big Was The Missed Buck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaffer62 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 Ha ha I see.... When I first saw him, his frame was clearly bigger than the other 2 bucks with him. Wider and taller with good mass. I originally guessed him to be mid 90's but I tried not to pay to much attention to his antlers. Didnt help though. All I know is he was a great looking buck.
