Stars still out of alignment

Despite frigid temperatures and a biting wind, we headed out in search of whitetails this afternoon. The wind was really bad for the area we were hunting but we devised a plan that would get us where we wanted to be without being detected. The plan worked but the deer weren't there. As we were headed back to the truck, I spotted a deer to the south. We figured he'd hit the fenceline and then follow in to the northwest, directly downwind of our position. There wasn't much we could do but hunker down and let it play out. The buck did as expected and I picked him up on the camera but Vanessa was sitting, waiting for a shot and couldn't quite see him but she was ready the second he came into view. The buck was moving quickly and when he came into view I grunted. But he must of hit our scent at the same moment as he took off at a run. Vanessa tracked him through the opening but he never paused to offer a shot. Oh ya, he was a really nice 5x5. Damn stars!
