Rocky,
I know what you mean. I watched a really big buck from a stand this year. He was on the next ridge with a valley between us. He was with 2 does and I had time to lazer him. 460 yards. I had a good rest, knew what my gun would do and was really comfortable with the shot itself. But, it was across a valley and there was a slight crosswind, where I was. I couldnt shoot. What was that wind doing down the valley between us? What was the wind doing on the ridge he was on?

I passed. Hoping he would chase the does out into the valley below and would offer a 200 yard shot. He didnt.

I have replayed that scenario in my head several times over. I think I made the right decision. I think??

Andy
