Closest You’ve Ever Had a Deer Without a Shot

Grunted a nice 6pt in many years ago. He was crossing a field and came straight at me and came right to the base of my ladderstand. As he turned I drew back. Well my arrow fell of the rest. I was at full draw trying to get it back on the rest, it fell off the string and clinked and clanged hitting the ladder on the way to the ground. The buck ran off about to about 60 yards away and stopped. I nocked another arrow and grunted him back to about 30 yards but he stayed behind a bush and I couldn't get a shot. He ended up wandering off not responding to anymore grunt calls. :cry:
