[QUOTE="41mag, post: 95248, member: 3804"] That sure is some pretty country up there. Glad you got to head up again for another chance to wring out one of your young-uns. Man now you know first hand what we are going to be doing soon, and what we have been doing up close and personal for years. Now that you have one like that under your belt, think back on how much more fun it would have been had you hit it at 10 - 20 yds and been in the cover you described. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The week before Christmas I was in stuff you could only see roughly 10 yds at most, looking for one I hit that was still up, when my back went south. I can honestly tell you, I have only had that "this ain't a good thing", feeling once before and it was while after another huge ol boar.
