Congratulations to all tag fillers!
Very impressive game, sir.
Indeed. Impossible to stop chasing it after that.
Still not seeing much movement and we heard very few shots this weekend, though dad did manage to pull another doe out last night. I'm still after a meat doe before the rut kicks in; this is the first time in several years I've gone into blackpowder without a bowkill in the freezer already. I hunt mainly oak ridges that normally produce a lot of acorns, but this year the acorns that are falling are tiny and spoiled/dusty when you cut them open. That and the lack of water are queering my game. The only real opportunity I had this weekend was last night as the storms were rolling in. Lighting had me gathering up to leave my stand, and I turn around to see a doe and a fawn staring right at me. Blew that one.
This coyote took the brunt of my frustration in the form of a 250 grain slug to the shoulders as he trotted by this morning at about 35 yards. Wrong day, dude. (turrible phone pic)
