Back early

Had a 4 day muzzleloader hunt that started on Thursday. The permit allows one buck, one doe and unlimited hogs. Things happened on Thursday and I didn't get to setup camp until 6:30 that evening. Didn't get to hunt at all. My buddy said he saw some hogs but couldn't get a shot.
Friday morning we headed out and got setup in a palm tree. Around 8:20 I see a deer coming my way. It's in some thick stuff but coming in towards me. Then it turns around and I thought that was it. Then for some reason it turned around and started heading my way. It came in to my right so I had to switch my gun around and shoulder it off hand. Got it in the scope and let the muzzleloader bark. Down instantly. I text my buddy, bucks and hogs only now! I sit for another hour or so and then my buddy shows up. I tell him to check her out and tell me what she ways. He says to me, your doe grew a set of nuts after you shot her! I said WHAT?!!! I felt horrible. Had I known it was a button buck, I would have let him walk.... To make it worse, my first buck had to be a button buck. I was disappointed. Even though he was legal, I was still bummed cause I thought it was a doe. My buddy said you don't have anything to be ashamed of since he's legal. I told him yeah, but I had bigger expectations for a buck.
Got him back to the check station and some guy had a beautifal 9 point hangin. Got him checked in and in the cooler. That afternoon my buddy shot at a hog but missed.

We hunted again this morning. I saw the hogs about 75 yards off to my left and they disappeared as fast as they appeared. As I'm watching them, a doe walks right under my stand and feeds for about 15 minutes. She comes in so close I thought about trying to spit on her to see what happened. She wanders off and then I don't see anything for the next hour.

My buddy texts me at 9:15 and says we gotta pack up camp. I reluctently said ok and we left at around 10:30. I was expecting to hunt in the afternoon, but that didn't happen. I guess my buddy was tired and ready to go. I told him I packed and prepared a lot for 1 and a 1/4 day hunting. He didn't take that too well, but oh well. I was kinda pissed especially since I had a pretty good idea where the hogs were going to be this afternoon. Oh well, nothing I could do since I was the guest. We packed everything and headed home....

Overall, it was a pretty good time. Got a little meat for the freezer and learned a little more about the area. Can't say I'm not a little bummed about leaving early, but I may be back for the general gun hunt.
