re: Missed what would have been my biggest buck today.

Hate to hear that Diesel.

My annual hunting week started off also with mixed results. Shot just over the back of what I thought was a decent 8 with a drop tine. He flinched after the shot and continued to make his scrape 25 yds to my right. I know he was only 25 because I shot him for 34 at mid lung n missed! LOL. Luckily while I nocked another arrow he raieed up on his rear legs n hit the branches anove it giving me a better look. Nice 3 1/2 but needs another year. And no drop tine... Must have been his ear or something in the dim light that Mistook for a drop tone. Anyway he walked away and I was happy for the clean miss. Later saw a cull 5 pt and shortly afterwards good sized doe that I took from 12 steps with a perfect frontal quartering shot through the boiler room

2-blade Rage FTW!!!! :)

Have faith... Your big boy will return. Just cut the damn limb before he shows again!!! LOL
