Pard says "Don't shoot one you can't ride up to!"
I wondered one winter, without any regret BTW, if the one I passed up - safely ensconced in chest-deep snow in a huge willow patch, and just above the 40-foot crest of an ancient river bank was going to be my only opportunity. I put 700 miles on my sno-go that winter looking for the next opportunity. I had plenty of time to think about that big dude standing all alone. But I never wished I had taken him.
