I grew up in a long line of fishermen. None of my parents, grandparents or great grandparents were hunters. I decided to break that line and started big game hunting last season. I ate that tag and learned A LOT. I have no mentor and no hunting partner. Everything it took to down this buck I learned from you folks here and reading books. For as heated as this forum can get sometimes y’all can be damn helpful. I appreciate each and every tip I’ve been given, piece of advice or even just the lurking around on the wealth of information that can be found here.
I know he’s not the biggest and the majority of the folks here would even pass on him. But after nearly two weeks of putting in more effort on one singular task than perhaps my whole life - he was a shooter. He rode my bike down 3 miles to the gate and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you to all you fine forum members.
