That person's rifle should be taken and he should be retired to camp cook. Almost doesn't seem possible, given proximity/size. Maybe he hit timber?



Nope, he called it to the edge of a bog. 40 yards wide open. He came unglued. That was with a very accurate bolt action 06 also. Big target to miss but his hunting buddies are kind and never rub it in. laugh His son...well.....
