Shawn, I don't know how much we can control how we react in situations like that. I just feel killing an animal is a sad, exhilarating, and amazing experience all wrapped in one. I really don't like the kill, but that is what makes it a hunt, something that I know most of you feel the same. I hope Stan Potts feels the same way and that is how he expresses it.
Dave, that bait wasnt near a river. It was south of a pond about 80 yards. It was on a logging road about 18 miles from camp.
