« on: September 15, 2012, 10:33:21 PM »
saw it trotting thru the timber got behind a tree and waited....18 yrd shot. then circled around and almost ran right at me! sat on its ass 20 yards away from me then moseyed over the hill another 40 yards to go take the final nap.   2nd pic was how i found it.  had heart shaped white patch on chest. good fur. way stoked!
