RE: most memorable hunt
That is a tough one as the firsts rank up there for fond memories, yet some others about the company and others for the harvest that came out of it. However probably my most memorable hunt was the one I never got, main reason I say this I learned more that trip than I think I ever have and learned so much respect for game we chase. I mean I came so close it hurts to really think about what I should have done but didn't do, but I think that is part of why we love this sport so much and really what turns hunting into a passion/obession! A close second for memorable/shocking would be calling in and arrowing a bull moose at 13 paces...talk about close encounters and heart failure!!!
Most shocking event replayed by one of my hunting partners missing a 50 + bull moose at 20 yards broadside with his bow. This guys is both a good shot and hunter, honestly I can't recall a miss in our career together regardless of the animal or equipment. To hear him tell the story hurts your gut, as he watched this sucker for a long time and when the perfect shoot presented itself he says
