well played, sir. But even I think you're dragging it out a little bit...and I like the "Lamb-meistering" approach to story telling!   :bigsmyl:      :campfire:      :clapper:      :biglaugh:

That tree across the road has heard its share of squealing. A man cant walk through those woods without getting hog poop on your boots.

Jcar315,

I bet this is not the first time you did this to people. I was trying to find that little one in the picture but could't find it..

You are killing us...

I was on that hunt with Jcar315 and had a great time. Ray's place is the " Cats Nuts ". Let me tell you folks, if you don't have a relaxing good time at HH your not living right! Wildlife every where you look and some fantastic hunting property. Jcar should be home from work soon to finish up this thread.

The footsteps kept on coming and in no time at all there he was.....could not have been more than 15 yards away just ever so slightly to my right when I first laid eyes on him.

He splits the difference in just a few steps and stops. Seems like he sees me but by that time I was starting to raise the bow and he started moving again. At 5 yards I let fly.

Here is the scene from exactly where I was standing when I shot with my arrow just barely visible.

Sounds like you know that tree Izzy??? The trail around it is indeed muddy from all the traffic.

Shot was a little high (even after Ray's instructions and the Shot Placement sticky) so things started getting a little crazy real fast.

Still never left my initial spot behind the tree and took care of the follow up from there.

This is what was waiting for me.
