Title: my bud got a good 5x5 down.....
Post by: backwoods_boy on September 17, 2009, 08:25:23 AM
Sorry guys waiting on the story just pics for now.
i believe he shot this boy west side on Monday evening.
stay tuned of updates.

************UPDATE***************

From A FACEBOOK message my buddy wrote me just now
QUOTE:

"I was going on about 70 hours in the stand between 2 different spots. I climbed up in my stand at 4.30am and waited till light and started calling with the hoochie and about 7.00am I had a bull come in but wouldn't come out of the thicket. He played back there for about a half hour and left I was pretty tired so I thought I would give another couple hours and go home.

So at 7.45am I hit the call pretty hard and fifteen minutes later I heard a pop to my right, so I slowly spun around in the stand and saw him coming in with his nose to the ground I didn't have much time so I drew sitting down waited for him to angle around a bit and sent it. It blew though his shoulder and took out both lungs and the liver. It was awesome. I gave him 30 minutes and started tracking, he didn't go but 60 yards and was dead.

Funny thing is I had a big black bear walk in on the some trail the night before, but he pegged me drawing back on him. That's to bad he was a great lookin bear he woulda looked good on my wall."

I have an idea where. I shot a bull in the past that has that same antler growth, could just be coincidence but sure looks similar. I'm guessing somewhere in pierce county??? I not looking for the answer trust me, i don't want people hunting there either.
