Default Close one!

Man, what a close call tonight. Shawn and I had a big 10 come in right at last light. It was a little to dark for good video and we didnt get a lot of pre-roll of him so I had to let him walk. He ended up walking about 10 yards from the tree before heading out to the clover to feed.

I have a feeling that we will see him again soon though....

Man, that is dedication. Camera lighting doesnt work out for me....there will still be a thwack!

Good luck with him.

I guess you can let a 10 pt walk when you've already shot a 175" with no camera light. [&:] You don't want the boss yelling at you twice!

Good luck with him Mike.
