Catfish,
I won't even mention the nice 8 pt I missed with a 700 yard cake shot
We were watching 3 bucks all together and 2 of them started to spare a little bit, then the bigger 8 actually dropped his one horn right then and there. I figured I'd shoot him and pick his horn up b/c we knew right where he dropped it. I needed about 2ft of wind that I didn't account for and he sure didn't stick around for another shot. Pretty disheartening, but I walked all the way over there and picked up his shed horn.
It'll be a good story to tell the grandkids 20 yrs down the road.
