Title: the one who got away
Post by: MountainWalk on April 08, 2008, 05:15:57 PM: was hunting with a client when i spotted this deer. the poor old man had blew it on a 300bull days earlier, and was having even worse luck today.. he was 73 years old, and a real good sport. well anyways,, no matter how i tried to stack packs,, he still couldnt get a good shot at him. and he was honest enough to admit that he couldnt hit it off hand. i give the guy much respect. he was just happy to see somthing other than turkey and whitetails..
