Thread: Have you ever made a mistake like this

Was hunting the tops a few years back got to the ridge , had a sneak look over to check for a handy deer, nothing !. So put my day bag and rifle down and climbed over the ridge so not to Stick out like dogs balls on the skyline. Was glassing the bush edges and slips for ages nothing ! Then glassed a bit higher ,maybe to find a chammy. as I paned around there was a big blur in my vision the shape of a deers head , binos down sure enough 25 mts away was a deer looking right at me . I thought I may be able to out run her , she had open tops and miles to the bush I had 10 mts up steep scree over the top load and shoot . I didn't have a chance , never seen her again . I don't know what she was doing , turns out she had followed me up on to the tops same way I had . I could see her marks next to mine on a shingle scree quite a ways down the hill . Funny how things like this can make no sence.
