Don't feel too bad.....I had a 30"+ solid 180" 4-point muley at 117 yards on a late muzzy hunt the other day.   He is not dead.   >:(

Did you pass him up JJ?  (Forgive me, I've gotta ask, after you let go that monster in your Avatar in Idaho last year..) :chuckle:

What a beast!  I am guessing you guys are hunting out of a ground blind.  I bet your buddy doesn't leave his sling on while sitting anymore.

during my incentive hunt, I had a buck at around 300 yards I missed twice. He was far away, but he made the one I ended up shooting (scored 184) look not so big. hopefully he gets another shot at him but the opportunity is the rush in hunting for me. Much more so then the harvest.


p.s. don't get me wrong, I love meat!

That sucks. It is so frustrating to do everything right just to get screwed by the smallest detail.

I agree. Get back at him. Something good may just happen.

Anyone else not have a sling on their rifle?
