Best of luck on the next shot ... may it drop in one. thumbs


You should have given it another day and went back, by day 3 there should have been an assload of ravens, crows, turkey vultures, etc making a ton of racket where ever he was at...

I've often found myself hunting "gutpile ridges" and have always found them via the birds, some of the kills were obviously 3-5 days old....
