First Blacktail In About 25 Years
« on: November 18, 2012, 12:52:17 AM »
Well, with a rifle that is. :chuckle: 

Was kind of fun tagging one with a rifle after so many with the bow.  Felt good to get some blood on the 7mm A-Bolt I've been working on.  100 yards on the move, off hand, blowing up the liver and bullet stopping in the heart.  Pictures don't do the body size justice.  Big bodied, with thick neck.  Just wish he had the horns to match.  I'm pretty pleased. 

Back out tomorrow to try and get the blind squaw a shot.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Nothing wrong with that buck... :tup:
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.
