Congrats

Thanks!  That was the hunt of a lifetime.  Can't wait to get the rug back from the taxidermist.

We saw one on the first day walking away from us at 200 yards.

Thank you, that was a difficult three days of spotting and stalking.  I had more than a few failed stalks, and some were fun anyways, and others I was tempted to throw my bow into the woods!  But it was all worth it when the hunt came together at the end of the third day.
