laying out in the open (elk ATL)
« on: April 11, 2012, 01:59:45 PM »
I got lucky (i mean very lucky)  to find this nice 6 on an open hillside were you can see for miles.  There was a lot of foot traffic but somehow this 1 got missed. I have not scored it but it weighed in at 18 pounds.I looked to match it up but by the look of the base it has been on the ground for a while, so the match was picked up im sure.

I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

A nice find! Do you run up to them like I do, for fear of having else take it? Of course, then I realize no one else is around.... :chuckle:

Well someone might get lucky and find the spot. I left both of my hiking sticks were the shed was laying, bummer, but I am gunna go get em next week.  I got a new set for this weekend and i am gunna paint them pink, so i dont leave em again. I might have been a little to excited and I was busy trying to find the match.
