buck fever

have you ever had it? we were hunting in south texas one year. seeing a lot of deer, but i was trying to kill at least a ten point. I had my back to an oak tree watching this trail. A button buck comes out and walks within ten feet of me. All of a sudden it takes off past the tree. I turn and look. Here comes about eight doe's with a huge buck. their coming down a fence line which was knocked down about fifty yards out. I lean my rifle against the tree and look in the scope counting the doe's. All of a sudden i hear something running next to me. The buck had jumped the fence and ran right next to the oak tree. I could have jumped on his back.I turn and pull up my rifle, look in the scope all i see is fur. I shoot and miss. i shot directly under him. The buck jumps striaght up in the air and stops trying to fiqure out where the shot came from. I could not believe i missed him. My hands are shaking. I had a browning single shot. When i cracked the barrel to put in another shell he took off. Everytime i deer hunt, I think about that buck.
