Late tag success!
« on: November 21, 2010, 02:48:06 PM »
Well,  I finally drew an EW late tag after 9 years of puttin in.  Weather kind of sucked most of the time...was hoping for more snow.  I did manage to find a pocket of does down lower with a bunch of bucks on the outskirts.  The third day i spotted this guy from quite a distance.  He looked wide but I couldnt tell his mass.  I decided to leave him alone and see if there was something better out there.  The 17th rolled around and I went back to the hole to find him.  He was still there and had 10 does with him.  I put a nice stalk on him and shot him at about 60 yards.  He just kept getting bigger as I got closer to him.  28 inch spread with lots of mass.  Def. worth the 9 year wait.  I couldnt be happier except for the pack out lol.  Almost felt "wrong" to be carrying a modern firearm during the heavy rut with no one around...almost.

Not sure Michelle...his eyes looked normal on the ground...maybe a reflection from a large lake...lol.
