Title: Very exciting day 5
Post by: TheHunt on September 07, 2013, 10:26:48 AM: I took a shot at a 4x4 and under shot. I was leaning over a log at my hips to try to get around a jack fir. Let it go and undershot...

Then 40 min later I bumped the big dawg in the thick trash at 10 yards. IT WAS SOOOOO much fun. I did not blow them out so I am back this evening.

That was so fun...

Now it is time for some yard work.

If that doesn't work I am going to try a setup on some new property I just purchased that we will be building on this winter.

If I needed meat I would not be hunting another location. LOTS of bulls... just nothing big...

Very frustrating...
