YEAH! Congrats Rick. So what about the "he isn't huge". Man you got a nice buck there. And you even did it with a Mathews.
Just having fun. Is that you shot placement by the sight? If so then I think all 3 of us so far have made some great shots. Get that guy scored and get him on the score thread. This is the best a team I have been on has ever done and this is my 3rd year.
Actuall that isn't the shot I put on him there. I actually put a high and back shot on him quartering away and managed to thread it high behind the last rib on the close side, and out the armpit of the far side. I got diaphragm, liver, both lungs, and even clipped the heart. He went about 10 feet. I also shot a doe last Sat but they don't count here......
Thanks again guys, he isn't huge but he put on a great show for me. He scraped and thrashed a tree within 30 yards of me, and was actually walking with the hair on his back standing up with his ears laid back doing that stiff legged PO'd walk in response to my grunts from when I initally saw him. He was one of the most memorable hunts I have ever had and because of this he is a trophy to me. He went 75 3/8".
