Congrats on your piebald!! Not much new here with my bow hunting. Taking off work next week to hunt. Last weekend I carried the 270 instead of the bow for our rifle season opener. Went looking for the big 5pt but only found a 120 Class 4 pt. Passed. Had a lot of fun as it was just me and Tyler for the first afternoon. He is too young to rifle hunt yet but was chomping at the bit to go out and see some deer.

Saturday afternoon I had to passed on a huge 6 pt. He was running and only shot was a 100 yard neck shot as he ran around a cattail slough. Probably would have pulled it off but didn't like the odds. Even thinking about it for a couple days, I don't regret passing on that shoot. Bowhunting has instilled in me to be positve of a shot, if not they get a pass. Course that big 6 wrecked me for the rest of the weekend and no buck interested me after that. Passed on a real nice 5 pt that would have been an easy shot. He was at least a 145 Class buck. Brother-in-law thought I was nuts for passing that one up. He is probably right, but I couldn't get the big 6 out of my mind though. What a brute!! My dream buck. Wide, tall tined, lots of tines, good mass with main beams out to the end of his nose. He should push 170 at least.
