Missed what would have been my biggest buck today.

I was set up in a lock on planning for a shot to the left. He came out at 30 yards to my right. I had to stand and turn as quickly and quietly as possible. I pulled that off. I draw, aim, mouth call, he stops, I shoot, Whack! I hit a limb. He jumped a little then slowly walked off, showing how big he was.

He was about a low 140s 8-9. wide, tall, good mass. everything you want.

I stood there trying to figure out what happened. I realized that when seated, the limb is not in my line of view at all. once I saw him I instantly stood and didn't look at him again except through my peep. I couldn't see the limb through my peep. :bandhead:

I looked just in case but no luck. At least it was a clean miss and I didn't injure him or run him out of there. Hopefully he'll be back.
