Well, not me, but a client, 86 YO gentleman, real nice guy. He used the same escape route, this time we had someone who could shoot. 30 3/4" 175ish. I have a late season tag for the same area and was planning on chasing this buck, but it all worked out. Eagles may soar, but a weasel never got sucked into a jet turbine!

We had a hunch this buck would come thru the same saddle as the last 2 yrs, the gentleman had a 50 yd shot, 2 previous shooters missed the same shot at the same buck. Our hunter was dusted, spent the next 2 days in bed, but he is 86! Eagles may soar, but a weasel never got sucked into a jet turbine!
