Default RE: Official Team 40 Thread

John, yes I did have a wonderful time in Alberta. Probably the best deer hunt I've ever experienced so far in my life. I saw the two biggest (170"-180")bucks I've ever seen, and got a shot at one (150"+)of them.I'm happy to have gotten another bow kill, but I'm not real happy with the specific buck that I killed. I'm almost certain I would have taken a bigger one if I had let him walk. I still had four fricken days left in my hunt!The rut activity was not to be believed! Non stop, right up until the time (1:15PM)I took that dink.
The bad news is he only scores 102"6/8 for the team. I WILL NOT make this same mistake in the future. I can guarantee you this. Even after these many years of deer hunting, I still find myself maturing/learning as a deer hunter. I still have a Pa buck tag.[:@]
