Nothing like flat out hammering your quarry in the early morning chill....
thesound of a heavy K-THUD on impact.... the heavy smell of prodigous amounts of spent nitrocellulosescenting the air....
Looks, sounds, and smells like.... victory.
This is classic...lmfaoo I cant quit laughing

A classic perhaps, buthardly an original I'm afraid.... [Ripped it off from Apocolypse Now

]
I have been there and done that though, oneespecially memorableoccurance on elk....
Looked good,
Sounded good,
Smelled good too, plus
....the elk hunter wanabees [

]we encountered at the trailhead on the way out withour pack string sure did seem to attach some degree of victory

towardsscoring one's quarryand some measure of defeat

towards going home empty handed for a meal of "tag soup".
Similar result on antelope, only no trail head of course, the guy with me with the 264WinMag that had missed twice prior to my first shot was a bit chagrined at the distant K-THUD outcome

(sight and sound only, too much wind for anyscent of nitrocellulose).
Glad you are amused,
You should consider trying it sometime....
Expandthe olehorizons, and get out a little bit.
