Yup, had a buck that would go atleast 230" pass by me at 23yards, but I was playing my PSP and it was either shoot him or lose my progress in the game.
Since I was hunting a field edge, I figured he would hang around and I'd get another shot.
I continued to play until I reached a save point in the game. I save, turn off the PSP, grab my bow, look up- to my surprise, he was gone. I stayed until dark, he never showed.
I havnt been back since.

I shot at a 150" 10 pointer quarter at 12 yards at 8 am - hit a branch.
11:20 am I had my bow hung up, just got into the stand literally and an honest 185"-190" monster saunders in and stops at .. about 12 yards, where the one I missed stood 4 hours earlier.
oh. .... and at dark? I had a 140" 8 pointer jump my string, shot just over his back .... so yeah, missed 2 P&Y bucks and didn't even get to draw on the biggest living whitetail I've ever seen
best day of hunting I ever had I think !!!
