here is a pic

roosevelt · 09-03-2010, 12:58 PM

one more pic, he had a huge body. it was an awesome hunt, got him to come about a half mile, to 4 or 5 yards, i got stuck in the wide open which made it more nervewracking

i only heard him bugle and tear up trees the whole way, never saw him till he came out of the timber point blank

Ohansolo · 09-03-2010, 03:34 PM

the look on your face in the second pic says it all.

Congrats!!!!

yeah, i feel pretty fortunate to have these things practically in my back yard. i just wish there were a few more deer around, coastal blacktails are a tough creature to kill with a bow, but i'm hoping to kill a decent buck before it's over.
