dude..we scouted and memorized movement..opening day, they vanished.

my friend got one..about 20 feet from the "no fly zone". we saw some bruisers. i had to be honest to myself. packing one out would have been a real challenge.

i posted up near a natural mineral lick. hiking to it was a chore. i saw a shooter uphill and moving quick. i scrambled to an intercept point, and for no reason it turned and ducked into the park. safe!

hiking back to the mineral lick..i see SIX bucks..one 4x4. they were at 70 yards, and sending an arrow it would skim the landscape. i left a friend there..why was he not shooting? i held off, watched them run off, and made my way back to find my buddy gone..i felt it was unsafe to send an arrow mere feet over his head...they would have been at 20 yards if i stayed put.

super fun, food was gross, landscape breathtaking. we had great laughs.
