Here's a funny.
After I posted up our bow hunt video a few weeks ago and watched it a day or two later, I noticed that when I first bump into the doe in the timber that was between me and the 3pt, I see something to her left. Damn it looks like another buck... *crop* ... *zoom* crap, it is LOL
I can't believe I missed this fork during that first stand off in the timber. I was kind of wondering what happened to fork buck that we had seen hanging around for a few weeks prior. I guess was too focused on the doe that was a bit more exposed and trying to put on an act to convince her I was not a threat. I guess I had more of an audience during my act than I thought. Also didn't catch it while I was editing the video (fair enough I guess... the preview screen is small) but I watched the video at least twice before posting it on YouTube and STILL didn't spot it.
I'm not sure where he ended up going after that. Ran into her again and took the 3x3 but no idea where he was during the whole ordeal. I bet he was still close by. Makes me want to look through more of the leftover raw footage. I guess the lesson is when you think you are moving slow enough and looking hard enough to look even harder and move even slower.
Anyone have any similar stories of when you think you searched the area like Sherlock Holmes and then... surprise?
