That was a good year
I'll never have another one like that. Shooting my best buck ever this year made me realize that I can't expect too many best ever from here on out. Hoping to beat my best ever crappie this year ( every year) though.:biggrin
Awesomeness
Time sure flies doesn’t it
Yes it does. My elk mount is in my son's house along with almost all my horns and my bear rug. I see the young guy in those pictures and don't hardly recognize him anymore!
no clue on best ever , sometimes I measure my best as to how much fun it was .....
the harvest is icing on the cake most of time ....
used to whack and stack a bunch of animals , tagging out was a thing ...
4 turkey and 5 deer in a year ....some years it was easy , others not so much ...
but in the end , some doe hunts were legendary to me ....just saying :cheers2
Lots of tags, lots of species, lots of memories in 1994. Every year has memories though. Shot a 4pt from 2 yards while I was sitting in waist deep water once. Had to cant that long bow over so the limbs were clear from the water. Last thing I remember seeing before I released the arrow was water droplets dripping from its chin.
watched a turkey drink water off grass blades in the early morning one time when I was bow hunting at about 2 feet away myself .
pretty cool to see them stripping the water drops off the long blades of grass .
but my bestest ever bow hunt was when a doe came to water hole in front of me one fall day and actually started to drink , she was in ankle deep water as I drew ,and the knock FELL off the $&@! arrow a half second before full draw .....
NOW mind you this , things went quickly at that point in time ....SHE LITERALLY got big air in REVERSE and spun in the air and was out like a flash ....
BUT it could get better , her fawn I never saw ALMOST impaled itself on my arrow as it bolted right at me at the same speed ....not kidding ....
Great memories in the wonderful outdoors, eh? Like you say Hard to believe until you also have a similar magical moment to relate too.
