[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2280421, member: 87243"] Thanks Steve, she is probably the most patient shooter/hunter I have been around. We were there for nearly 20 minutes waiting for the perfect shot, the bucks kept herding them tight together, and she knew that there are tons of opportunities with pronghorn, so she wouldn't accept anything but a perfect broadside, very clear shot. There were tons of times where there was clear quartering shots, or good broadside shots with a fawn right against the hind end of a doe, or a buck withing a couple feet of a doe, but she had great patience, and didn't want to chance it. One thing is for sure, and I like it, if it's not a clear shot, or she isn't 100% confident, she won't take the shot. Makes me proud! The night before we were out, and she was lined up on a shot that was 550 yards, the doe was clear, but it was 7 minutes before end of shoot light, and with the smoke haze, it was on the dark side. She could just see good enough to take the shot, but she made the call not to take it, she said she couldn't quite see enough of what she wanted to be confident. Almost anyone I know would have forced the shot, but in the heat of the moment, she made the right call. Sorry, just have to brag her up a little bit! It is pretty awesome to know that if she takes a shot, there is a critter dead on the ground! [/QUOTE]
