How to Miss a Moose Part 1

[Steve O]

Hang in there buddy.  Tell yourself, "I am going to kill that moose" as soon as you decide it.  Positive thinking...picture it in your head while you are at work, picture the shot while you are cutting the grass, picture the shot while you are doing dishes.  Run it over and over in your head the right way.  Guys that were POWs played rounds of golf in their heads while they were held captive and shot great cores when they first played after being free.

I didn't feel too bad about missing, although the ribbing I've been getting from friends and family could fill a humorous book! I still have a long hunt ahead of me and am keeping positive. I'm trying to implement what SteveO suggested, and I've used it before with good results. My wife even put backstrap on the menu for the week after I get home. So I'd better stay positive, and not miss. Thanks for all the comments guys! Here is a pic of the meadow where the cow and calf were.

 

So did I jimmy LOL!!

Beautiful country, and it's alot easier to miss than most people realize, at least that's what I've heard as I have no personal experience with missing.
