Good story my friend. I am sorry that you came up empty but like you said it has been a good year with many encounters and you are a true trophy hunter. My hat is off to you. Next year the big bucks you passed on will be bigger.

I always enjoy your close encounter stories. Being out bowhunting is what its all about,theres the enjoyment. You can always go to windixies and get some ground beef.

My season has gone into the doldrums, working overtime and the few days I had off we were snowed in. BUT the fat lady is still singing here so....
