RE: Feeling pretty good!!
Don..Every deer deserves respect and after I eat them the pictures and the memories are all I have. I wipe off their face and try to do the best I can. Nothing detracts from a kill more than the only pic being one taken dangling from a game pole or tossed into the back of a truck. I usually just sit with a kill for a little while enjoying the moment. They really don't come that often.
Thats a pretty buck fishrman and I would rather track them 1000 yards and find them than track them 3/4 of a mile and not. Still sick over hitting and not recovering a fine buck I was sure was mine. I jinxed myself by going home for the camera and drag rope.I never carry a drag line. Bad luck for me..>>>>>>>>>Whack!!!
