Great story and pics, thanks. Don't sweat the miss--get'em on the next one.  I once heard a story of an african guide ask how the archer missed an elephant, hunters reply "didn't you see it--right over his back" lol

Good stuff Ryan ... definitely no sugar coating or revisionist history going on in your post!   :bigsmyl:   It is kind of funny now but probably not so much at the time! Good luck on getting that tag punched!!! It sounds like you are in a good area to make it happen. Looking forward to the thrilling conclusion.

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.

You gave me such a charge and the "Greatest" quote I think I've ever read...lol

I am laughing with you my friend and certainly not at you. You handled that far better than I most likely would have.

Thank you for sharing with us.

God bless,Mudd

Is it irony that allows us to hike, climb, crawl and slide around the countryside looking for our quarry, only to find it eating hay out of the back of a pickup truck back at the campground?    :knothead:

Great story, I'm sure you'll hook it up this season.  Good Luck!

Ryan, absolutely breathtaking country. I can see what your problem is already, if you would have had one of those Goldtips I sent you on your string you would have scored. Those arrows were handcrafted with Meese in mind.

     :biglaugh:          :biglaugh:          :biglaugh:    

Can't wait for the big finish, I'm sure it's good.

Now that you have gotten the wayward shots out of your system I'm lookin' forward to the next set of pics Ryan - with blood all o'er 'em!

Hunt hard man, hunt hard!  (I still gotta get me one of those hats!)

Shoot straight, Shinken

Hey great pictures look forward to the rest of this thread. I know how to miss deer at very close range so dont feel left out. I will tell you the story sometime its too long for here. Have fun out in the hills chasing or being chased by moose. I look know you will have more great stories when you get back. Keep us posted.
