Cool hunt, congratulations.

carl told me horns over 6 1/2 inches are considered a trophy, this one had 9 inch horns. Yep. that's a nice one, Roger. Good work!

Wonderful job.

Seems that's a good idea for hunting, too.
Thanks for the story and pics too. Hope the fish were tasty too.

.i got set up and watched him wade across when he was about 75-80 yrds slightly quartering away, he stop and looked my way so i let him have it on the point of the shoulder. My gosh what a great story. Anyhow Rog, here's my latest acquisition, .54 caliber. Its good for 75-80 yards easy. You're welcome to borrow it any time. Birdwatcher

I'll admit one thing, I'm pretty dang sore this morning.LOL a couple of hunts like that will get you in shape. sure as hell beats sitting in a blind all day though.

Great story, great pictures and I am proud as heck for you Roger. I am past the point where I could physically ever do something like that but I am sure happy there are those that can and do like you.
