Been chasing this rascal since September in bow season. Finally, the afternoon hunt before Thanksgiving he come out by himself, wind was in my favor. When I realized he was the one I’d been after, he was standing broadside starring right at me at 50 yards. I knew if I moved, he would bolt. He finally started walking and I started to grab my 30.06 and make a move. Again, he stopped starred right at me and I didn’t have the rifle ready, I just knew he was going to run, and he did, allowing me to to get my rifle up and get a good rest, he stopped about 180yards completely broadside giving me the opportunity to take the shot. He kicked and ran about 60yards and plowed the ground. What an awesome, exciting hunt!
