Howdy! You still get out though and hopefully soon with your little ones. Great fishing shot and keep getting after it out there, even if just once in a while.
Gary WhitbeckDon't let it bother you. It's happened to most of us. I had a 180 Whitetail in front of my pop up using the crossbow. It wouldn't fire and then I realized I didn't take the safety off. When I did he heard it and ran. Hard to forgive myself, but it's hunting.
Heck of a 2022 season, Colorado Public land DIY bull. Hunted hard for 18 days and on the last morning after having my best friend come up and help as a caller we were able to seal the deal at 10 yards on a great mature bull!
Gary WhitbeckYou've got a lot of stay power. Most of us would have given out. Glad you got rewarded for ur efforts, and you've got a good friend there.
*@sndvipr-b36b thanks he is actually getting chewed on by a buddies beetle colony for a euro Mount. The wifey told me only monsters get shoulder mounted haha she is from Arizona so has high standards
Spent 7 days in the backcountry chasing bugles, had some close encounters with a couple big bulls that never presented a shot, but I'm thrilled to have called this little eager beaver in!
