one more animal and my quest is finished
« on: October 21, 2012, 09:10:00 PM »
ok been shooting trad since i was 13,im 36 now and i have taken every large and small game animal that is allowed by law here in indiana.so here is the last instalment of my quest.finaly had a good south wind to hunt this huge 8 i have been after for a 2 years.well got in my stand got everything situated and sat down and heard something coming towards me,then i hear voices,well here comes 5 horseback riders tresspassing.so i go off on them call the law and am mad as hell.so i climb down get in the buggy and wait for the cops,well as i waited i looked in our hayfield and seen something i have been after for 4 years.well i had to run down our lane and slip into a pine row and got everything in order and went on the stalk...hunkered down and made my way in the tall grass and watched my animal angle over the top of a little hill,after he did this i lightly ran to the bottom of the hill,i was now 15 yards from glory..i raised up drew and my game was quartering to me and i released..hit in front of the front leg and exited behind the oppisite leg,he spun and dropped.finally got my groundhog......all that i have left is a red fox.got every feathered,furred,that is allowed...havent killed every species of ducks but im ok with that,one mallard was enough....sorry so long winded...

Nice work

I won't get started on horse back riders!  They and sail boat enthusiasts have been the groups that were most annoying during my near 30-year career of wildlife conservation and public land management.  Too many people in both groups that think they are entitled, extra special people.  I can't even stand to look at a horse because of it.  

Whoop, look like I got started?

Nice work on the whistle-pig!

Well that's one Ground hog that won't see his shadow come the end of winter...   :biglaugh:

Do you use the pelt on those things for something?  I wouldn't imagine they are much good for eating eh?
