maybe this years....
« on: August 08, 2011, 08:23:24 AM »
I was hoping to find bigger.  This guy is a candidate, more for the pure challenge of it than anything.   Not sure how I will be able to connect with the longbow or not.   We'll see.  Contemplating if I will check out another haunt or not.

Yeah, come straight off the top like Tom Cruise with a little wire thingy...you can drop in like 3 yards above him then drill him between the shoulder blades like you did that big buck in 92 or so...

Seriously though... I think there's a fair chance that when you get back in there, you might find he has a bigger buddy that eluded you this time? Then again, eluding you?? Maybe not.

I'm hoping there were lots that eluded me.   I had my eye on a couple that I just couldn't see.   I'm a bit irritated that I packed 30 pounds of camera equipment in there and didn't take a single quality photo.  I was mostly after goats and I didn't want to scare the deer for obvious reasons.   I wish I could drop the dime on a cute little Swaro spotter.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Gonna be tough unless they change their patterns a bit.   There were three bucks in the slot to the right of this guy, all small.  I missed the shot.  They finally gave up on the heat.  This buck stayed here the WHOLE hot day.

I found four other bucks in another pocket.   The fourth barely revealed himself.  He stayed put until dark.  The third finally showed just before dark, coming out and laying next to the one in the shadows in this photo.  They finally got up and moved just at dark....



Thanks Saylean.   I do like challenges.

Wow bone, looks like your hunting on the moon with all that rock! How far above the timber are those guys hanging out? Great shots too, I think you can nail the big one with the sapphire. Good luck.
