			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
