Yeah Curt, missing that hunt already...  With the 55K loss on the house in KY I just couldn't swing the funds to come up with the deposit... and well the hunt.  Still paying off "double" but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now rather then throwing $'s away with the house payment and rent here...

Anyway, back to better things... Heading out tomorrow with my 68# MOAB to see if I can finish off the "Bowrack Slam" on the Squirrels... Wish me luck... I'm sure either way I'll get me some stumps!

Well, after a weekend camping and fishing with the family I got a chance to head out again tonight.  Never been out there at this time of the day, didn't see any Squirrels, but did see a few Voles...  I was shooting my 68# MOAB with 31" Gold Tips and 175 grain Judos.  This shot was about 7 yards and I had to hold at full draw for about 15 seconds to pinpoint him in the fading light... I hit him in the head but truthfully was just looking at center mass...  Even so, with the tangle of stuff he was in I had to blood trail him for about 4 feet to find him, luckily I still had a flashlight in my Arrowmaster from the Solana hunt...

Great shooting,those bows serve you well,congrats.

You went a little light with the MOAB on that vole, eh?

Well, I just got a bow back in my bowrack that I saved... check the story:   History of a bow...  

Shot her a bit yesterday, and took her out this morning.  Morrison Cougar, 62", 55# @ 29", shooting a 30" Gold Tip 35/55 with 125 grain judos.  Took this hoss of a vole at about 11 yards, hit solidly in the right lung.

If I get enough time off to get close to them!     Haven't done this much "hunting" in the summer months in my life, I'm having a ball!  Do have a couple of new places I'm going to be hunting this fall, hopefully they look as good then as they do now...
