I got a good, late morning chance at a fat doe, either tue or wed....didn't keep much track of time out there, wasn't much need, as I was on vacation!!!! Made a decent 9 yard shot...hit a couple inches low of where I was lookin', but nicked the bottom of her heart, she ran 50yds, walked 50 more, and was done. Good meat for the grill, eh!!!

I had a bit of frustration all week, not getting the bigger bucks within my effective range....But that's a choice I don't really mind living with....Had that Tall Boy at 50 on the 1st morning, another huge buck middle of the week, I was in my ghillie suit, setting at a water hole, and had to turn down both sides of him at 35yds, then he was at 20 or less but had a big thistle in the way....the one that got away!!! Plus numerous goats that just wouldn't give me the right shot....then when one finally did, I muffed it....But, on the next to the last evenin', I got another chance, at stand #8...Not the biggest buck, but bigger'n last year!!! Made a good double lung shot, and he piled up 50 yds from the stand.

We had the pleasure of a major country road cruise, with the Ranchers Son, to his elk lease....And yes, they were bugling....TO MY RINGTONE ON MY CELL PHONE....(if I'm lyin', I'm dyin')....Yes, 3 different bulls, right at nightfall!!!!!! Here's a few pics from the ride, the last day we were there.

Warren Buffet owns a ranch next door, and he's ruinin' the skyline.....Over 300 windmills will soon be standing tall.

 

Had to hit 4 low in a few places....pics don't do it justice!!!


 

That's about it, in a nutshell....had a blast, with 5 great guys, a gracious host, and the most awesome herds of goats in the world!!! Can't wait to get back next year!!!!

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.
