Nothing on the last day.

I have a special draw hunt on January 26th at a local waterfowl preserve. Hoping to make some smoke that day. I'll update the thread after that hunt!

Nice work!! 6 is a good pile of meat! :happy0001:

The necks in my area would have shot him. They don't care about tags and rules. :(
I've hunted late ML a few times in deep snow. Shot a big doe once that slid about 150yds down a ridge after I shot her. Looked like a seal on national geographic - sliding down like she planned it :happy0157::happy0157:
