I took the shot at 20 yards sending him end over end. Amazing hunting footage Jay captured there! We settled back in and I continued to call. Not more then 2 minutes later our next star arrived. Jason and I had big plans to double team this guy. 70 yards out the dog stood.1,2,3 BANG! A double miss! LOL. We joke now, it was to build drama for the show. I quickly squeeked on the call a few more times. The dog stopped and turned to see what the heck happened. Sun in his eyes he never knew what hit him. Jason closed the deal. Upon reviewing the footage we high fived, knowing this was the best footage we have done to date! Cant wait for our next outing to finish off the show.</span></p><p><img src="http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt162/halfdoc/dogssmall.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><img src="http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt162/halfdoc/dogs2small.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><img src="http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/tt162/halfdoc/dogs1small.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
