Title: The one that got away?
Post by: AL WORRELLS KID on April 19, 2019, 10:25:38 AM: Ever think you must have missed the shot, after searching and circling for what seems forever? :(
After seeing this, I'll be giving the trail a better look see the next time around. :'(
( This shows the amazing resiliency of a determined animal to survive.)

I've also recovered an old bullet out of an elk and tons of shot out of birds. This year I got 6 or 7 geese with .22 cal pellets in them. They must have been munching on someone's golf course.
