SWAMPER

Alabama Swamp Rabbit, Okeena Longbow, 250 gr. Ace Hex, and I had to blood trail it. I should have used my Woodsman. I wish I would have weighted him but he was a big Rabbit.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Good thing you were armed, if that thing would have attacked I think it is big enough it could have taken you.  :)

Good job Skyler!!   :bigsmyl:
The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.
