I missed my #1 target buck Saturday morning @ 6.50am.
I may have blown my only shot at this buck, since it was the rut the slipped him up.
He was on the trail of a hot doe.
I held the crossbow at aim for nearly ten minutes.
My arms were jelly and I was suffering from buck fever.
The doe triggered one of my trail cameras and it took the video.
I am 30 yards behind the buck and the doe is closest to the camera.
Turn up the volume, you will here me shoot.
Clean miss, 100% tree or branch.
He only ran 30 yards, stopped, and continued grunting and chasing the doe.

Here's the video.

I wouldn't count him out yet. My wife missed a nice little 7 ptr with a blackpowder gun one evening last year. The deer jumped around before finally deciding to head back the way he came. He came out the very next evening and I tagged him with my .30-06. Since you said he went back after the doe, it doesn't sound like he was so alarmed as to avoid the area.

Yep, he was lock in on her.
He chased anther buck away before I shot.
I went back at noon and sat till 5:20pm.
They didn't return.
Sat Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon without seeing a deer.
The rut can bring good and bad.
I'll be out every morning before work.

Well first off, I feel your pain; who here doesn't? I hope you get another shot at him.

Thanks for posting the vids; I don't have any cams but am considering them since they seem like a great tool.
Good luck.

Well guys, this buck is no more.
He was hit and killed by a car last night.
