[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2836972, member: 113404"] I had a blast guiding/sub guiding my buddy recently. Over the years I have elevated his shooting skills and confidence in field shooting. The best thing about him is that he actually does what I suggest! That is gold right there! LOL We went to a 2000 acre high fence spot. The last 500-600lbs Russian bore had been shot just prior to out arrival. The outfit suggested a Ankole-Watusi hunt instead. Get a lot more and higher quality meat, so we were happy to switch game. When attempting to calm shooters, I always say, "You got all the time in the world to make the shot right. I mean, not really, but it's a less anxiety statement than saying, "Don't rush your shot". It took us 1.5 days to get the right shot on the right longhorn. The herd seemed to know which one we were targeting and kept it in the middle. It was a fun time. Here is a quick vid of one of the potential shooting situations. I was so proud to hear my guy getting his breathing in control while prepping the shot. "Take a breath and assess".
