I honestly don't know a single deer hunter that works any harder than you do, Troy. Not one.

There's an element of luck that comes into play whenever anybody downs an animal (of any magnitude), but I feel like you do SO MUCH to stack the odds in your favor....that I think a lot of that turns into "calculated odds". "Checkmate" is PERFECT! You played the best game, and now you reap the reward.

I'll congratulate you on a game well played. Your game's a model of "tact". I am extremely happy for you.

Congratulations, again.....on a well-deserved outcome.
