This west Texas bruiser got away from me. I had watched him all day across a canyon at 330 yards. I should have taken the shot, but wasn't sure how I was going to get him out. He finally got up near dark, went to the top of the mountain and looked over into a box canyon. This pic was taken at 553 yards. I should have taken the shot, but wasn't sure about the wind up where he was. What I should have done was taken the shot when he was at 330 yards and worried about how to get him out for the next day. That's the last time I saw him for the rest of the 2 week season.

The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!
