100% this year as far as shooting goes.
Bear Hunt = never shot
1st doe = lung at 20 yds, piled up in about 20 yds
2nd doe = lung at 15 yds, piled up in about 35 yds
1st buck (7 pt.) = lung at 25 yds, piled up in about 60 yds
3rd doe = spine at 3-4 yds, dropped and one more in thelungs, piled at 5 yds
2nd buck (165 inch 8 point later shot during gun season), I will admit I choked
at 30 yards.. Never shot though, drew and just never released.. I didn't want to
miss.. Well, I didn't miss the shot anyway.. :-(
hog at 30 yds = sharp quarter naway;got stomach and lung, piled about 15 yds

Ummm.. Ya.. I totally choked... I just stared at his rack and when I finally got my thoughts togeather he was too far away for a bow shot.. lol
Landowners daughter shot him bout 100 yds from my stand opening day of shotgun... they say he scored mid 160's anyway.. I'm not sure but I will post a live pic of him and you guys can take your own guess..

here is the live pic of him, have one of him after shot also but she's in the pic so I won't put em up without asking her first..
I hunted this guy all year, had one good crack at him.. My bad, oh well...
while this is an impressive pic it does no justice, the after shot is awesome. no matter what he really scores for an 8 pt he a good buck

Ya right, don't start rubbing it in guys.. I've been tore up over it since I didn't take the shot.
