Great hunt Shaun!  It's amazing what a sharp broadhead will do, especially with patience in tracking.

Dude it was great hunting , eating and telling lies to one another! The hot weather is killing us but we are still optomistic, I finally saw a tank yesterday am and will  hunt him hard till its time to go home Friday. i am posting this off of a borrowed machine and will add to Shaun's pictures soon. But you missed out buddy, we had moose in the crock pot for dinner tonight. !!!

ok its 72 degrees and the bucks are not moving, how frustrating to wait three years for a tag and then have record high temps!

Here is the doe i killed last Tuesday am when the weather was nicer! She walked into a scrap i was hunting and stood in it sniffing and batting around the scent wick i had hung. I let her walk hoping a buck would be trailing her. She finally left only to return 15 minutes later and stand in the scrap a second time, As she walked past me to leave i drew and shot her very poorly. My arrow  was way off the mark and hit her in the lower throat. i still don't know what i did, but i got lucky and she only went 40 yards.

 

We will hunt thru the week and hope the weather turns around be fore the end of our time here. Thanks again Shaun for being such a great guy yo hunt and spend time with

Great hunt and story, that's a nice looking bow too, sounds like Papa Bear shed a little Mojo on it.
