Article: Deer season a reason to celebrate ; Big ones got away, but that's not the point.

CHILLICOTHE - Deer hunters on a farm west of Chillicothe borrowed a page from the fishermen's book on Saturday.

They were talking about "the big one that got away."

As they trudged back to deer camp at midday after spending several frustrating hours in their tree stands, they looked up in surprise to see a trophy buck not far from their base.

They quickly raised their rifles and took aim at the big deer as it chased several does up a hill. But the hail of gunfire failed to stop the buck.

"Must be wearing a Kevlar vest," one of the hunters said.

Several of the hunters scrambled over the hill to see if one of the shots had somehow found the mark. But there was nothing there.

No blood. No deer.
