I'm walking the edge of some woods and give out a grunt....start to enjoy the view when I catch out the corner of my eye a buck coming straight for me....he stops short turns runs 40 yards back into woods and stops . Not a clear shot but not to bad. Well in my hast I missed......he was a big buck....got touch of buck fever!! CRAP.

Bow or Rifle?
If rifle w/scope, what settings did you have scope at? Rifle caliber?
I hear ya on that buck fever; turns your arms and hands to jelly!
Are you sure you missed? That close, bullet could have passed straight thru w/o expanding. Check for blood?

Using muzzleloader... I checked area good no sign of blood...fearing he was going to bolt I hurried my shot when I no doubt had time to breath and aim better. Ah man what a buck!

How do you know you missed? what does it matter anway? He is telling a story of how he had a close encounter with a big buck and how he got a case of buck fever. Even if he didn't check at all it has nothing to do with the story. Snafu I couldn't imagine being that close with a buck charging at me, hell i get doe fever lol.
I only lie when I tell the truth.
