What a hunt I had yesterday. Walking to my spot on top of ridge I jumped. Up about ten doe no shopt too far. Get setup on ridge in a blowndown tree at about 4pm I see some deer couple hundred yards away. They gradually work way up the ridge to a field behind me. I let first 5 or so walk by all within 15 yards. I continue to watch deer in distance and see two with antlers. I still have does walking up to field,none busted me,finally the first buck is in range,a small 8 point.The other buck is a bigger 8 so I wait for him.He finally gives me about a 40 yard shot,I settle the sigght on his chest pull the trigger and click,no fire. I open the frizzen check primer it is good,close frizzen pull hammer,pull. Put sight on him agin and pull trigger!oom! Smoke clears and the buck is staring at me,clean miss. I reload but he just trotted off. Went to look for blood nothing! It was an awesome hunt! I will be back at them .
