It took me 3 years, but was worth every heartache
« on: November 05, 2007, 10:31:00 AM »


Saturday afternoon at 6pm, nice pass through at around 25 yards, he ran only 30 and went down. Not much horn to look at but he will taste good. Morrison cougar @ 60#, carbon express arrows, 125gr snuffers. I've thought many times of giving up but glad I saw this though, I'm already looking forward to my next hunt this weekend looking for pigs and javies.

Great job.  I've found that it's not the destination, but the journey.  :clapper:

Never give up.  The fact that this isn't easy is what makes it so rewarding.
