Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting You ever shot the "wrong" buck?

This was a very interesting morning. I had a bachelor group of 3 bucks on me and it was just getting light enough to pick the best one when they took off from my clearing and went in the brush. This hog waded out into the clearing and stood there. I had enough light to drop him in my food plot. After the shot, the bucks came across another lane and I shot what I thought was the biggest one. He dropped as well. Then the actual biggest buck stepped out and thrashed on the dead buck for several minutes, tossing him like a ragdoll. I let the bigger one walk (we get only one buck per day), and never saw him again.
