PsTAN, My experience just about mirrors yours... In tree stand with buck grazing about 50 or so yards... All I could see were his hind quarter... I relaxed... He made his move... I rushed the shot....He ran about 100yds and bedded... Should have waited longer because as I approached he got up and ran off never to be seen... That happened close to 30 years ago. You live...you learn...
