Unless he goes back and kills it, that's one that's gonna haunt him for the rest of his life...

Did you pass him up JJ? (Forgive me, I've gotta ask, after you let go that monster in your Avatar in Idaho last year..) :chuckle:

Post by: Thenewguy on November 30, 2010, 08:26:23 AM: during my incentive hunt, I had a buck at around 300 yards I missed twice. He was far away, but he made the one I ended up shooting (scored 184) look not so big. hopefully he gets another shot at him but the opportunity is the rush in hunting for me. Much more so then the harvest.

p.s. don't get me wrong, I love meat!

Post by: fisheral87 on November 30, 2010, 08:26:36 AM: That sucks. It is so frustrating to do everything right just to get screwed by the smallest detail.

I agree. Get back at him. Something good may just happen.

Anyone else not have a sling on their rifle?

Haven't had a sling on my rifle in 4 or 5 years. Don't need it, can't shoot anything with your rifle hanging off your shoulder anyway, and it's just something to make noise, get hung up, etc. If it's not in my hand, it's dark out and it's attached to my backpack for carrying.
