Well Jake all I can say is I'm happy for you. I'm glad at least one of us could make it up to my old "honey hole". I sat down below that spot all afternoon until dark and saw 2 doe sneaking down the side going past me at about 40 yards. But before that, about 3:00 two guys were talking to Bob at the bottom of Dry Hollow when a pick up pulled up in that parking spot. The 2 guys that came down from the hollow had dragged down one that Bob said went about 300 lb. They had shot it way up on top on the flats and had to drag it all the way to the truck - probably about 3/4 mile! I much prefer shooting them on the side hill. Much easier to get them down.
Was going to head back up today but we got almost 5" of heavy wet snow. It's melting fairly quickly so we'll be heading up tomorrow morning.
Congratulations again. I said I would only shoot a big one from now on but when that adrenaline kicks in you never know. And at that range that black makes them look much bigger, especially when they're moving. Next year, same time, same place?!?!
