Good job man.
Pretty sure I talked with you and your pard while ya'll were taking a break, and we were getting water during the first week. Ya'll got hosed by Port of Blakely shutting down your scouted areas?

Either way, congrats.

Sure was.
I think I told you we shot at a cougar that was stalking us, But after leaving you guys, we stirred up a storm, and had 5 bulls going. All were within 70 yards in the thick stuff behind where we all chatted. All we could see was hooves and horns over the trees. One was a 5x, one was a 3x4, and one was a 4x. The others would get within 10-15, then get ran off by the other rag horns.
The two rookies with me shot one at 7, and one at 9 yards almost 3 min apart. Almost unbelievable story. They think the stuff is easy now.

Anyways, did not mean to thread jack, but i know you and your buddy were working for them, so congrats. Hopefully your pard gets as luck too.

Yeah you did thats spooky. really those bulls were right there huh wow thats awesome, well im pretty sure they are all pushed out of there now i started going in deeper as people started filling in there. Oh and after we talked remember we said we were going to go down in that one strip of timber by the creek? well we called in a big true spike down there :bash:haha
Oh and haha they will find out just how easy it is when they go out by there self without you next year.lol Yeah my buddy left that wednesday he had to work but we are going to be back down there friday till the end of the season to try and get him one.
