Got out again this morning.as soon as it got good light,I broke out the old rattling horns and did a set. after about 5 min. I did a second set.about 30 to 45 sec. I hear foot steps in the leaver.I see horns and a nose going up and down,a head going from side to side,looking hard my way.
He came in looking to about 50 yards and stopped,I took a shot that was , me leaning out to see around a tree.as soon as I fired,I knew it was off a little.he left with tail down.after a few min. I trailed him about 150 yards and jumped him.I pulled out and went to the truck.got feed for the feeder and filled it and went back and trailed him another 100 yards and jumped him again.
went to the truck and got the wife.we went back,and you quessed it jumped him again.

I told the wife we were going home and give him an hr.so we did , I took my dog so I wouldn't have to trail the blood. after about another 100 yards we found him laying cow fashion.then we had a long drag.all the time he was going away from the truck.

he was a nice 4 pt.a lot bigger than the 8 pt.he was nice and fat.
I love to play catchup ; don't you.[8D]

by the way , the shot was a little low and a little far back.[&o]. sorry!! I guess it happens to us all sooner or later.
