"X" Marks the Spot - # 2.5
« on: April 22, 2014, 10:39:14 AM »
5:30 PM, early September archery season in (insert state here); bull only area; caller is to the right 25 yards; shooter is at full draw under the bottom arrow, 25 yards from the stopped bull; wind is coming up the big draw and over the top of the benchy ridge you're set up on in the direction of the arrow. Both caller and shooter have good concealment to their sides and back. This cooperative wapiti has came in, very vocal, from over the sidehill to the left, up the benchy area towards the caller, and has stopped directly in front of the shooter to try and pinpoint the caller.

Are you shooting? If so, put an "X" on the spot your arrow is heading.

Reminder that if you save the picture to your desktop and open in MS Paint, you'll be able to place a spot, X, or whatever on the critter before you save it back to a jpg and add the marked up pic with your post.

After careful consideration, I want to shoot here because he might take a step forward...



HOWEVER, I will probably shoot here because I am staring at his rack, the adrenalin is making my sights look like glowsticks at a rave and my finger yanked my release way before I lowered the sight on him.

Looks like Skillet did the job if he keeps it together.
