Last December (2010).  Hoyt Dorado, 45#.  Happened at dusk, she appeared almost out of nowhere.  I took the shot from the creekbed as she put her head down behind a tree to nibble some berries.  15yds, you're looking at the exit hole.  Couldn't find her until the next morning, even though she was only about 50yds away.

   

Thanks for starting this thread!

My first with trad gear.  Without a doubt one of my happiest moments and memorable hunts.
