[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1797102, member: 86754"] WR- you must have been watching me missing antelope! ha I "belong" to the "can't judge the wind" Club. This has been out on what I call the "short grass praries"...no indicators. Bum-Fuzzled me to no end! My first was around 350yds, it looked like 6ft to me! I repeated that 4 more times that day on 4 more bucks! Than I slipped up on one chasing a doe, I crawled up into/wrapped myself up into a snow fence and "missed" him(!) running at 100yds!
